This Fort Point is located at the southern beginning/end of the Golden Gate Bridge. The red brick fort was built between 1853 and 1861 to protect access to San Francisco Bay. So it is one of the first military buildings in the American West. Up to 500 soldiers and a total of 126 cannons were housed here and protected the entrance to the bay from there.
