Steel Shutters
Columbia, California is a preserved gold rush era (1850's) town. Most of the commercial buildings had iron shutters for the windows and doors, which makes sense in an area with a lot of gold and not much law. The town converted to brick construction after a series of disastrous fires in it's early years. It also has the advantage of being mostly bullet proof.
