This building below was once considered to be the HQ for General Longstreet during the battle of Gettysburg. This is a vintage postcard (as you can tell from the the cars in the background) with the Warfield Ridge observation tower in the background.
Nowadays, you'll find the upright cannon marker that designates Longstreet's HQ, along West Confederate Avenue.
The little building with the sign saying it was Longstreet's HQ, however, is gone. This really well-researched and just plain interesting report by the NPS's Katie Lawhon from 1981 is probably the reason why:
