The Fort Mason military reservation is significant as a historic district Commencing in 1797 and lasting through the Spanish and Mexican administrations of Alta California, Fort Mason was one of two sites in San Francisco Bay that was armed with artillery for defense of the harbor. For more than forty years under the American administration, it played a role in the coastal defenses of the Bay from the Civil War to post-Spanish-American War. It also served as an important element in the first submarine mining of San Francisco Bay, in the Spanish-American War. From the Spanish-American War to the Korean Conflict, Fort Mason's role as the headquarters of the San Francisco Port of Embarkation was of national significance. Through it moved millions of men and millions of tons of supplies, providing evidence of the United States' expansion and growing interests in the Pacific. The purpose of this Historic Structures Report is to provide guidelines which will direct any modifications or maintenance of the Lower Fort Mason structures to be in accordance with the laws, regulations, policies, and standards that govern the treatment and use of historic structures in the National Park system.
