In 1872, the arrival of Company K, 2nd Cavalry at Fort Laramie, Wyoming, to join in the Indian campaigns forced construction of more barracks. The resulting building, 272 feet long, 26 feet wide, and two stories high, was really two buildings combined in one. The Army occupied it until 1890 and it has since been used for a variety of commercial and residential purposes. This report is based on physical investigation of the building. It describes in detail the structure's condition, the materials used in it, and evidence of changes; and it makes recommendations for needed or desirable treatments. The report is preparatory to general restoration. Photographs and drawings accompany it.
