Completion Report: Repointing Brickwork on the Southeast Face
1976. Completion Report: Repointing Brickwork on the Southeast Face. 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 done in repointing brickwork on the southeast face of Fort Point from September through December, 1976. The project was to repoint and where necessary, repair and/or replace all brickwork on the entire southeast wall, refill openings with brick to provide continuous outer brick wall, and clean entire surface of repointed brick wall.
