Historic Structure Report New Mine Casemate Fort Columbia State Park

Abstract

The new (though it is approaching ninety years of age) mine casemate at Fort Columbia is a unique structure. It is a subterranean structure of massive reinforced concrete, every bit as intimidating and fascinating as the Neo-Doric Art Deco gate- ways suggest. It still has secrets to unravel, but this report should resolve many previously unsettled questions.
