Fort Hancock at Sandy Hook is a former US Army artillery base used to defend the Atlantic coast and the entry point into the New York harbor. It was operational from 1896 until 1950. It is now part of the Fort Hancock Memorial Park. These homes face the bay side of the peninsula and served as homes for the officers. Slowly, the buildings are being restored and repurposed. The entire area is a national historic landmark.
It was a gorgeous day to be out here. The sun was playing hide and seek behind the clouds, creating changing light and conditions minute by minute - from skies all shades of blue and grey.
