San Francisco's
Alcatraz Barracks
Armored Barracks - For Soldiers
and Cannons...
Fortified Barracks
 |
The barracks were first used to support the
wharf and build between 1865-1867. The building was meant for both cannons and
soldiers to guard the dock, but the guns were obselete
before the building was completed. The walls are 10 feet thick, and designed to be
bomb-proof. Apartments were built on top of the fortified barracks. The
armored areas meant for yesterday's cannons are used today to house exhibits, a theater,
and a bookstore. |
