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.
