 This series of photos shows progress on the
grounds and a visit to the inside of the barracks, including several shots
of the upstairs, which had not been available to the public for many
years. All photos courtesy of Korwyn Peck (shown at left, doing more
photography for us). unless otherwise noted. Click on any bordered picture for a larger version.
The page on the hospital
also includes photos of the new location for the granite monument, which
is visible in the lower right corner of the center photo in the first row
of July 19. It is being moved from its current spot on the foundation of
the Chinese dining room because it is not part of the historical period of
preservation. It's new site is quite impressive, however. |
