Landscape-oriented outdoor view of Fort Smith, showing, from left to right, the light colored guardhouse, two similar-looking large buildings that acted as officers' quarters, and the enlisted barracks. (Image quite dark, with chemical deterioration creating a halo effect around the scene, spotting, and some abrading; unsealed,, with corners of tintype folded over onto image side.) 

The barracks building was also used as "Hanging" Judge Isaac Parker's courtroom after the war.
