 | The Alamo is a mythic place. One of the myths is that the battle took place here. The building itself was actually attached to a walled compound, where the defenders fought. The building was used as a supply depot and hospital. Also, the building had a flat roof line in 1836; the decorative "Spanish" top was actually added by the U.S. Army long afterward. |
