The repair project on the blockhouse is coming along nicely – here’s more from the Park Service:

Maintenance worker David Harsh took these photos of the blockhouse rehabilitation project, which was begun in June. The park maintenance crews have completed the new structure, built in two sections on the parade ground, each log numbered and color-coded. Last week they constructed the cribbing on which the upper portion will sit while they dismantle the current lower story starting this week.
