This 9 ½ x 7 ½ inch Albumen photo shows the main gate at Camp Morton.  If you look closely (see our close-up photo), you can read “Military Prison – Camp Morton” on top of the gate.  The photo shows 60-70 prison guards all in uniform with their muskets stacked.  What looks to be the Prison Sutler stands on the left side of the gate.  The gate and guardhouse are decorated with gingerbread molding – almost a Victorian style look.  Truly a fascinating and rare photo, the only one we have ever seen like it!
