Description
This 1915 postcard shows a newly-restored Sutter's Fort, as seen from the northeast. The fort's adobe-style walls were rebuilt with new brick at a height of 16-feet. The rough layout and angle of the fort's walls was determined by finding blacksmith Ephraim Fairchild's old coal storage room which was known to have been in the southwest corner of the fort. Once enough layers of soil were removed, blackened soil was found, revealing a proper right angle.
