What's so special about the McDonald Ranch house?

Unread post

In 1945, the first atomic bomb core was assembled at the McDonald ranch house in Socorro New Mexico. The George McDonald ranch house sits within an 85′ x 85′ stone wall. The house was built in 1913 by Franz Schmidt, a German immigrant.
The site is open only twice per year. This year I had the privilege of visiting.
