Frazier C and Wahbeh J. 1985. Historic Structure Preservation Guide: Fort Moultrie III. Historic Structure Management Plan. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. Denver Service Center, Denver, Colorado
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. The Historic Structure Preservation Guide is a reference document tailored to the individual needs of Fort Moultrie III from which park management may obtain guidance for continuing normal maintenance and minor repairs. The overall approach to the maintenance of historic structures is defined in the NPS Activity Standards: 1. Housekeeping and maintenance do not change or adversely affect the fabric or historic appearance of the structure and are done in accordance with the area's Historic Resource Management Plan or a specifically applicable Historic Structure Preservation Guide. 2. All projects involving specialized housekeeping, repair, rehabilitation or replacement of structural components and projects involving techniques for arresting or slowing deterioration, of the historic fabric and its historic environment are conducted under the direction of a Historical Architect or Archeologist as appropriate. 3. Routine housekeeping which will not affect the historic fabric and maintenance of equipment and facilities located within the structure, but not themselves of historical significance, is maintained in accordance with the applicable maintenance standards for that type of equipment or facility.
