Fort Hancock is part of the Sandy Hook Unit of the Gateway National Recreation Area. On the entire peninsula of Sandy Hook, there are approximately 300 structures reflecting Light House Board, Lifesaving Service, and United States Army activity from 1764 through the 1970s. These structures are of varying levels of historic and architectural significance. This Historic Structure Assessment Report surveys the Fire Station Office (Bldg. 34) at Fort Hancock, providing photographs, floor plans, statements of deficiency, and preservation recommendations. This one-story brick building was built in 1899 for use as workshop space. In the 1930s, the building became offices for the WPA until 1942, when it became quarters for the firemen. Building #35 has walls of buff brick and roof of slate with carved wooden bargeboards at the cables.
