About Fort Stockton Officers' Quarters
When Fort Stockton was rebuilt in 1867 to protect the route to El Paso, the army erected seven homes with rock foundations and thick adobe walls to house officers' families along the parade ground. Nearby stood corrals, carriage stalls, and other outbuildings supporting the post. The houses served officers' families until the fort was closed in 1886.
