were taken in the 1930s and 40s, the presidio officers club was already more than 150 years old. now they are digging into the history, revealing the original adobe building and foundation laid down in 1776 by spanish colonists. the adobe hasn't been exposed really for over 100 years. project manager christina wallace and adobe expert are key members of the team working to restore and renovate the club. it's been the heart of military and social life of the base for 235 years. the intent is to keep it that way. >> it will be the same. it will still be a social center and community center and also our heritage center. >> a gallery will fill what is now the empty space between the oldest and newest structures here. the two-story special events building in the back will stay

with its commanding view of the main post and bay. but with a face-lift from it's 1972 look. note the circular fireplace in the upstairs bar. a new one is already in place. the most delicate work will on replacing adobe bricks in the original building, dating from about 1810. the first two adobe structures were destroyed by fire and earthquake. thermography and impulse radar to try to give us an idea of the condition of the adobe without touching it. so we used these extremely high-tech methods to determine the condition of the most traditional material in the world, which is adobe. >> about 68% sand, 20 to 40% clay and some straw. >> taylor, the adobe expert, is here from new mexico. his crewmembers, also from new mexico, are building a sample wall to see how the replacement bricks will perform. the materials and methods are basically unchanged from 1776.

>> every area, every region has their little quirks about how they make adobes because they use the material that's available to them so they will, like, for example, in the sierra, instead of using straw they will use pine needles, the tradition in the state of chihuahua, they will use horse manure as part of their mix because it counteracts the salt you find in adobes. >> the building's base and roof will be where most will be replaced because of water damage. >> in addition, when we talk about sustainability, sustainability starts with an already-built structure. so this is as green as it gets. >> it will be open and free to the public, hopefully in 2013. heather, abc7 news. >> lisa is here now with a look ahead to our forecast. and also the important halloween evening forecast. >> yes. we are on quite a roll with our
