Archaeological Investigations at the Bridge Tender's House Fort Fred Steele, Wyoming

Author(s): William R. Latady; Allen D. Darlington

Year: 1993

Summary

Before stabilization activities in 1982, limited archaeological testing was undertaken at the Fort Fred Steele Bridge Tender’s House. Questions existed concerning later replacement or remodeling of the original structure. Archaeological investigations were oriented toward establishing the date of initial construction on the structure and identification of any later building activities. Information gained through excavation , supplemented with historical research, suggests the extant structure was built before 1885 and is probably the original Bridge Tender’s House.
