Some buildings within the fort compound had the French mansard roof style, with dormer windows extending from each roof ("see enlarged building images below, or building profiles at top of 1725 map"). The tall chimneys at the ends of the buildings, shown in the map profile, were not used on the reconstructed Fort Condé. Also, the lengths of buildings were longer in the original fort, than represented in the 4/5 scale replica fort. The Mobile River is illustrated on the 1725 map with the label "Riviere de la Mobille", using the spelling "Mobille."
