1976. Completion Report: Refurbishing and Restoration of Metalwork. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service
Fort Point is a masonry seacoast fortification constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer in 1853, overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. The Fort was built in the Army's traditional "Third System" style of military architecture (a standard adopted in the 1820s), and would be the only fortification of this design constructed west of the Mississippi River. This report provides documentation of work performed to refurbish and restore metalwork at Fort Point from August 1974 to March 1976. The project was to clean and refurbish all cast iron columns and entablatures, replace all gallery railings, supply new trusses and roof over gallery and paint, remove concrete and cast iron stairs and reconstruct and paint, replace Barbette tier walkway and paint, install new railings and gate at Lighthouse Barbette tier level and paint.
