Washington ordered the huts to be uniform and neatly lined in rows, with soldiers in front and officers behind. The men stayed in tents until the huts were ready, around Christmas for the soldiers and January or February for the officers. They then built the orderly huts, kitchens, and other necessary structures, putting up more than 1,000 huts altogether in Jockey Hollow. The Pennsylvania Line had about 200 of these huts lined up on the hillside in front.
