ILLUSTRATIONS

Quarters A
Figure 25. Restored Quarters A, standing alone in the southeast corner of the parade ground, is quite pleasing aesthetically. The veranda on three sides of the house had to be completely reconstructed.

Old Guardhouse 1866
Figure 26. This durable stone building known as the Old Guardhouse 1866 stands at the river edge of the parade ground. The building was in remarkably good condition when restoration began, despite interim adverse use.
