"Restored" Officers' quarters

Ft. Churchill, Nevada, USA. A "restored" barracks is shown in the left inset. Ft. Churchill was built in the early 1860s to (a) intimidate Confederate sympathizers; and (b) intimidate the local Paiutes. It succeeded on both counts. The fort was abandoned by 1870 and sold for scrap. The timbers were salvaged, but the rest of the buildings, made of adobe, fell into ruin. Why "restored" in quotes? These well-defined "ruins" are actually well-meant 1930s restorations--the original buildings are now just heaps of mud. (See the right inset, and there are some other pix elsewhere in this collection.) The area is now a Nevada state park.
