The Magazine was where all the weapons were stored. It had an octagonal shape and nobody could tell us why. Apparently, there was no rhyme or reason as to why it had that shape.
Inside the magazine. Sorry, my camera wasn't acting very good for me. These were gun powder barrels.
Rifles and other weapons. I had many more pictures of the different types of weapons, but they all had school children in them. There was even a canon and 2 canon balls on the other side of the room.
These shackles, and the next picture you'll see are where children were punished for their disobedience or breaking the rules of the house/law. Cole is waiting for his lashes. Kids would be put in the wrist shackles for whippings so that they couldn't try to protect their behinds.
Children were also put in this pose for many hours at a time as a punishment.
The brick maker. Yes, he does actually make bricks there year-round, but Summer time is the peak season for them as that is when the clay is more manageable. He's holding up one type of brick mold that they use.
The firewood that they use for the kiln.
The kiln. Although, kiln is not the correct term, but I can't honestly remember what he said it was called. He even spelled it for us, but my memory isn't that good anymore. The bricks closest to the bottom of the oven are the deepest red/brown in color. The lighter colored bricks are the ones placed further away from the heat source.
The wood shop. Here is where different types of wood containers were made.
