Fort Pulaski is one of the "Third System" forts built by the U.S. Army along the east coast following the War of 1812. Constructed in 1847, the Fort was eventually taken by the Union during the Civil War, demonstrating the superiority of rifled cannon bombardment over the masonry fort. Built in the decade or so before the First World War and now used as administrative offices for Fort Pulaski National Monument, the Quarantine Attendants' Quarters is the only historic structure remaining from the quarantine station established by the City of Savannah on Cockspur Island in 1889 and operated by the U. S. Public Health Service after 1899. Although the building has recently undergone extensive rehabilitation, this historic structure report was commissioned "to guide park management and staff in making the critical decisions concerning the interpretation, protection, and preservation of this historic resource."
