Historic Structure Report, Architectural Data: Fort Moultrie
Garner JC. 1973. Historic Structure Report, Architectural Data: Fort Moultrie. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service
Fort Moultrie was a seacoast fortification on Sullivan's Island that operated from 1776 to 1947. It saw multiple phases of modernization and adaptation, displaying the full sweep of U.S. seacoast defense systems across over 150 years. This report was prepared to satisfy the research needs as enumerated in Historical Research Management Plan, Fort Sumter National Monument, June 1968 for the Architectural Data Section of the Fort Moultrie Historic Structure Report. Although this report centers primarily on Fort Moultrie III, erected in 1808, it attempts to cover also Fort Moultrie I, 1776-1783, and Fort Moultrie II, 1794-1804. It is proposed that the fort will be preserved, restored, and reconstructed in its various parts, including partial furnishing and armament, to selected appropriate phases of its history as it existed during its period of maximum development, 1808-1945.
