Fort McHenry National Monument & Historic Shrine, East Fort Avenue at Whetstone Point, Baltimore, Independent City, MD
Summary
Significance: The pentagonal fort is the most important, least changed, surviving feature of the historic bombardment of Fort McHenry, September 13-14, 1814. The sally port, casemates, and guard rooms were built after the bombardment, and are interesting as functional adjuncts to the needs of a military installation.
