I think that ploy was probably a bridge too far and may have cinched it for the Indians. All's well that ends well (not that it's over). What "fort near the coast"?

Apparently there's a few still about (I know the one on Olvera St).
The hut at Uni is the right size, not that that proves anything:

Were the huts actually built in different styles? I always thought they were all the same.

Is the house at 2408 Ames gone or remodeled? I couldn't find it :-(

Wow, this one really tore me. The destruction of Chinatown and its Disneyfied
replacement was far from our finest hour, but I love Union Station beyond all reason.
It's worth traveling by train just to experience Union Station's "Welcome home" embrace:

P.S.
Can anyone solve this for me? The 1883 gothic-style church at the NE corner of 3rd and Hill, which appears in so many photos, was supposed to have been moved to 925 S Flower in 1900 to make way for the new Conservative Life Building (both sites are now vacant). It remained there, as far as I know, until 1926, but I cannot locate a photo of it at the Flower St site (there were eight or nine churches tightly grouped in that area). It was supposed to have been remodeled after the move. I'm curious to see it.
