entire “officer’s line” until 1902.

Across the street were hitching posts.
Rose bushes and fruit trees, planted in 1888, flourished.
The quarters were high ceilinged, large structures of adobe walls
covered with plaster. They

There have been many changes to the homes since their construction,
including the installation of central heat and air conditioning.
