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 Morgue (Bldg. 326) at Fort Hancock, providing photographs, floor plans, statements of deficiency, and preservation recommendations. Built in 1905 of the same materials as the hospital annex, the Morgue retains much of its historic appearance. The plan consists of two large rooms. The floors were wood; the walls, brick and the ceiling plastered and covered with pressed metal.
