1. Officers’ Row, 1874-1875 Marker
These officers quarters with adobe brick
walls are the oldest original buildings at
Fort Robinson. The post surgeon noted they
had dirt floors and complained over delays
in shipping heating stoves. A frame lean-to
at the rear provided kitchen and servant
quarters. In the early 1880s, partitions through
the common hallways were built to prevent
arguments between occupants of the double
sets of quarters. Crazy Horse passed between
two of these quarters September 5. 1877
enroute to the guardhouse.Erected by Nebraska State Historical Society.
