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 Quartermaster Latrine (Bldg. 44) at Fort Hancock, providing photographs, floor plans, statements of deficiency, and preservation recommendations. The Quartermaster Latrine was built in 1898 as a detached lavatory for the Ordnance Storehouse #32. It is presently used as a storeroom. This building is rectangular with buff colored brick walls, dark ashlar foundation, grey slate gable roof, and one chimney.
