George McDonald Ranch House
The George McDonald ranch house where the plutonium core was assembled in the master bedroom. The frame outside the rock wall was placed by the Los Alamos people for hanging a hoist to unload heavy items. They also put a ramp up onto the porch and into the door on the right. Neither was needed. This photo shows the house after its 1984 restoration by the National Park Service.
