Fort Point

Golden Gate, San Francisco

A Preview

"Fort Point. Look up. The Golden Gate Bridge is directly over your head. And this brick fortress underneath it is the reason the bridge looks the way it does. But we'll get to that. First — the fort. The Army built this between eighteen fifty-three and eighteen sixty-one. They started with a ninety-foot cliff and blasted it down to fifteen feet."
