Building 156: Temporary Barracks at Fort Hancock on Sandy Hook
FORT HANCOCK WALKING TOUR
Tour Stop 16: Temporary Barracks
Building Number 156
Construction Date: 1940-1942
During World War II, a slew of temporary wooden barracks were built at Fort Hancock to house the influx of new troops. The building at Stop #16 is one of these, and to the best of my knowledge, it is the only remaining wooden structure from the World War II era remaining at Fort Hancock.
Tour Stop #16 is way off the beaten path as compared to the other stops on the tour of Fort Hancock. It is located near the Nine Gun Battery.
Next Stop: Master Mechanic’s Quarters | Previous Stop: Officers’ Club
