IN 1835 THE MEXICAN ARMY FILLED THE NORTH ROOM WITH DIRT AND RUBBLE, THEN INSTALLED WOOD PLANKS TO FORM THE ARTILLERY POSITION KNOWN AS "FORTIN DE CONDELLE". THE "NORTHERN POSTERN", LOCATED ON THE WEST WALL, WAS APPARENTLY A DOORWAY MADE FROM A WINDOW OPENING. THIS POSTERN MAY WELL HAVE BEEN THE WAY THAT COURIERS WERE SENT OUT. THE OTHER WINDOWS WERE "PLUGGED" WITH ADOBE BRICK. DURING THE FINAL ASSAULT BY GENERAL COS' SOLDADOS, MEXICAN ACCOUNTS MENTION A FORCED ENTRY INTO THE FORT THROUGH THE NORTHERN POSTERN, AS WELL AS THROUGH OTHER AREAS OF THE NORTHWEST WALL.
