Image # A58-206; I captured this image while visiting historic Ft. Larned, Kansas. In order to get this shot, I was lying on the ground under the wagon. The closest building in this image is part of "Officers´ Row" which consisted of three buildings: the Commanding Officer's quarters and two Company Officers´ quarters. The company officers´ quarters housed six officers and their families. A Captain received a total of three rooms: a parlor, bedroom and a kitchen with attached servant's quarters.
Lieutenants received one room apiece. A boardwalk and railing ran the length of Officers´ Row. Generally only officers and their families would be allowed on the boardwalk. No enlisted man was allowed behind the railing without permission of an officer.
