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 Post Exchange Gas Station (Bldg. 60) at Fort Hancock, providing photographs, floor plans, statements of deficiency, and preservation recommendations. Built in 1936 of the same buff brick as the barracks, building #60 retains its historic appearance. The original plan consists of large rooms. The floors were wood; the walls, brick, and the ceiling plastered and covered with pressed metal. It is a one-story buff brick structure with four gables and a porte-cochere on the west, slate roof.
