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 Chapel/Auditorium (Bldg. 35) at Fort Hancock, providing photographs, floor plans, statements of deficiency, and preservation recommendations. This building was constructed in 1941 for use as the post chapel. It originally contained a wooden steeple which projected over the front portion of the building. The structure is presently used for interpretation. The exterior walls of the chapel are white asbestos siding on concrete foundations. The roof is of asphalt shingles and has a red brick chimney.
