4x5 for 365 project (176/365)

They seldom make doors this ornamental on warehouses.  Building 124, part of a long abandoned warehouse and storage section of Fort Hancock in Sandy Hook, New Jersey.

Fort Hancock was built in 1890 to protect New York Harbor from attack by sea.  It replaced an earlier fort called Fort Gates that was built during the war of 1812.  Fort Hancock included a series of concrete gun batteries built on large concrete foundations and 12 inch barbette guns. The cold war era brought in new defenses including Nike Missiles that could intercept jet fighters.  The surface to air missiles defended the skies from 1954 through 1974 when the fort closed as an active Army base.  The fort complex and it's remaining 35 buildings are now part of the National Parks of New York Harbor under the National Park System and remains a popular Summertime day trip spot with beaches lining the Sandy Hook peninsula and bike rental areas providing transportation for tourists. Sandy Hook Lighthouse, the oldest working lighthouse in the United States is at the center of the Fort complex.
