Summary

Fort Glanville barracks and parade ground. According to a researcher at the Fort Glanville Historical Association, this photograph would have been taken prior to 1883 because the wooden guard house was replaced by a brick guard house, near the south rear defense wall. The rear defence wall was heightened after Colonel Gordon and Major Downs declared that the rear of the guns was subject to attack from rifle men on the rear manning ground, outside the walls.
