Fort Macon, (historic place, used to fight in many wars, located on the beach on North Carolina)
Growing up, I always noticed that the floors were brick. While vacationing, my dad figured we should go since it had been newly restored to its "original" stand point. That and we hadn't gone in 3 years. I noticed the floors were wood.
When Fort Macon was used in the war, was the floor brick or wood? I really would like to know.
Websites would be helpful.
I've tryed searching it and can't find anything either. :/
Thanks, any help would be appreciated. =]
I don't know for sure, but I found this site http://ils.unc.edu/parkproject/visit/foma/guide.html which says, "These rooms appear as all the fort's casemates originally would have in the 1800s. The windows, doors, shutters, wooden flooring and ornate trim have been duplicated exactly from copies of the fort's original plans." So I THINK it means it's first floors were wood, but I can't be positive. I'm sorry.
