1. Storehouses Marker
The quartermaster and subsistence storehouses were deliberately situated near the commander's office and within view of the guard house to discourage thievery. Both storehouses were built with 20-inch thick adobe walls and included a finished office and a large, unfinished storeroom. The U.S. Army stored and distributed food and other equipment from these storehouses to troops at Fort Churchill and across northern Nevada.
