Randsburg, continued...

As people settled the area, tents gave way to wooden structures.  The problem was that the construction tended to follow the wagon ruts, with little thought given to the logical lay out of a town.  Residents tended to set up their tents, and later build their buildings very close to each other, so that they would be closer to their neighbors.  In some cases, the buildings were so close to each other that they looked like they were attached.
