Photographer: Lester J Letson
Taken: Circa 1996
Caption: Millerton Blockhouse
Additional Description: Constructed of rough hewn timbers with numerous gun ports, the blockhouse was built to withstand attacks while giving riflemen the ability to shoot at the attackers from the safety within its thick walls. The blockhouse was deconstructed and moved to Roeding Park in Fresno, CA where it was reconstructed and sat for several decades before the city of Fresno gave the blockhouse to the Table Mountain Rancheria tribe. The blockhouse was deconstucted again and reconstructed on reservation property overlooking Millerton Lake.
