Historic Structures Report, Part I: Officer's Quarters B, C, and D (Bldg. 57-59)
Murray RA. 1965. Historic Structures Report, Part I: Officer's Quarters B, C, and D (Bldg. 57-59). Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. Omaha, Nebraska
Originally established as a private fur trading fort in 1834, Fort Laramie evolved into the largest and best known military post on the Northern Plains before its abandonment in 1890. This “grand old post” witnessed the entire sweeping saga of America’s western expansion and Indian resistance to encroachment on their territories. This report concerns three officer's quarters, constructed in 1880, at Fort Laramie, proposing that they be stabilized so as to preserve the continuity of "officer's row." Stabilization is suggested to be enacted by a combination of reinforced concrete interior tie-beams, protective wall capping, and window and door lintel supports. This document also includes Hieb's 1955 Preliminary Report on Ruins Stabilization During 1954 on Officer's Quarters "B", "C" & "D," beginning on page 17.
