military, fortification, gun emplacement
One of two coast defense batteries built on Ford Island.
Pre-WWII plans called for Ford Island to be a defensive strongpoint in the event Oahu was ever invaded from the North Shore.
The concrete walls of the battery were re-purposed into the foundation of a flag officer's quarters. During the Pearl Harbor attack, the house served as an air raid shelter for almost all the Navy dependents living on Ford Island.
