Historic Structures Report, Part II: The New Bakery (Bldg. 115)

Pope C and Sheire JW. 1969. Historic Structures Report, Part II: The New Bakery (Bldg. 115). Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service

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 the ruins of the New Bakery (building no. 115) at Fort Laramie. Constructed in 1883, the New Bakery is proposed to be used in exhibition as a part of the historic landscape of the fort, and as an interpretive stop on the fort tour. The primary construction proposal is to repair and plaster the ruins to the form and general profiles now existing in masonry.
