Fort Lowell, an urban park in Tucson, Arizona, includes ruins of adobe 
(sun-dried clay brick) structures in addition to a prehistoric Indian pit 
house.  One of the old buildings, the commanding officer's headquarters, has 
been fully preserved and is in use as a museum.  The URLs below provide more 
information and photos.
