Completed in 1904, this section is one of only three remaining parts of the original woven wire fence at the Soldiers' Home. During the latter half of the nineteenth century, woven wire and barbed wire began to replace wooden rail fences. Woven wire fencing once enclosed the entire 102 acres of the Soldiers' Home site, with interior fences enclosing a four acre garden area and at least one of the two cemeteries.
