Historic Structures Report, Part II: HB-14, Quarters
1966. Historic Structures Report, Part II: HB-14, Quarters. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service
This report concerns the Quarters (HB-14) of the Fort Davis National Memorial. In operation from 1854-1891, Fort Davis serves as one of the greatest examples of a typical frontier military outpost of the U.S. military in the 19th century. Constructed in 1884-1885, HB-14 was built of adobe set on a stone and mortar foundation and fitted with a wood shingle roof. This report suggests that the Quarters is to be given modified restoration as part of the historic scene. Walls are to be reconstructed, where, and to the extent, necessary to support a new roof and to arrest deterioration. Adobe preservation techniques will be applied and authentic roofs and porches constructed. This will accomplish the dual purpose of preserving the original material and creating an effect similar to the historic period.
