Fort Vancouver Historic Structures Report

Recommendations

a. Because the Jail would have important interpretive value in illustrating social conditions at Fort Vancouver, it is suggested that this building be reconstructed, furnished, and exhibited.

b. It is suggested that the design and construction be in keeping with the facts and hypotheses advanced earlier under the heading "Construction details." For details of doors, hardware, window bars, etc., additional research into military and fur trade prisons of the early nineteenth century is suggested.

c. It is recommended that the furnishings in the reconstructed Jail be in accordance with the suggestions made earlier under the heading "Furnishings."
