Notes
  • Significance: The six Base End Stations at the White's Point Reservation are part of the fire control complex for Batteries Osgood, Farley, Merriam, Leary, Saxton, and Barlow located within Fort MacArthur Upper Reservation. These secondary fire control stations were built as part of the coastal defense strategy of the United States for World War I and modified for similar defense strategy during World War II. Batteries Osgood and Farley, 14" disappearing carriage guns, are on the National Register, and Batteries Barlow and Saxton were nominated in 1982 for listing. The secondary Base End Stations at the White's Point Reservation are contributing elements to these historically important and sensitive properties.
