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 Pumphouse/Sewage Lift (Bldg. 37) at Fort Hancock, providing photographs, floor plans, statements of deficiency, and preservation recommendations. The pumphouse was built in 1928 and is located on the bay side of Hartshorne Drive. This building serves functionally and historically as it is an active part of the Sandy Hook sewer and water system. This building is a plain brick structure with a gable roof, rectangular in plan, and encloses two levels of sewage pump equipment with a pit below.
