Ft. Chadbourne Hospital Remains

Ft. Chadbourne is located in Coke County, Texas with the intention of protecting the western frontier and the Butterfield Overland mail route.  Although many of the buildings on the site have been renovated and remodeled back to their original forms, this structure, which was once the hospital building, is still in its desecrated condition.

The hospital originally had 3 rooms, and the floor was dirt.  

There were supposed to be 5 barrack structures for the soldiers, but by the time the 2nd barrack was constructed, water ran out and it wasn't feasible to continue the construction.
