Battery Barlow-Saxton

Also known as Angels Gate Bunkers, this batter was completed in 1919. It is one of several which protected the mainland USA from attacks by sea. Its distinguishing feature was a series of eight 12-inch mortars which had a range of 11 miles and could be turned 360 degrees. It was operational until the 1940s but now the battery is now open to the public and provides plenty of concrete canvas for urban artists.
