Front inscription
Fort Sullivan, first built in 1796, was left vacant after the Civil War. In 1897 a new building campaign began and in 1902 the U.S. Government began expanding the fort to include housing and support facilities. The c. 1915 Quartermaster Dock and c. 1930 warehouse here were part of the expansion, which also included an NCO Club and theatre. The fort was deactivated in 1947 and the property was sold by the War Assets Administration.
