Fort Hancock began as a military establishment named Camp Rice in 1882, along the San Antonio-El Paso Road. Camp Rice had formerly been located at Fort Quitman, and had been established by troops of the 10th U.S. Cavalry "buffalo soldiers". Camp Rice did not grow after moving to this community, and rarely hosted more than 60 men. It was renamed Fort Hancock in 1886 after the death of General Winfield Scott Hancock, a hero of the Battle of Gettysburg. The fort was damaged in a flood that year, but rebuilt. It was damaged again by fires in 1889, then abandoned in 1895.[4]
A post office was established in 1886, with Albert Warren as postmaster. In 1887, a new railroad depot was built at Fort Hancock, and by 1890, a town had grown up around it and had a population of 200, a general store, a hotel, and a meat market.
By 1914, the population of the town had dropped to 50, though by 1940, it had increased to 500.[5]

I visited the Hancock Museum in Newcastle last week and as today is Sunday, I decided to combine a few of the exhibits I saw - HSS!
I shot this before, but the building is now vacant and the sign worse for wear. I got another before something happens to it.

A long exposure shot from the Hancock from my files that I really didn't like because I got part of the beam outside of the observatory in the frame. So it was in the external drive limbo for a year or so. Anyways, I was bored last night so I thought of giving it a faux-HDR treatment. It turned out to be nice a cityscape. I think it saved it from going into the trash bin.
