Situated on Position Hill, the Fire Command Post, also known as the Fortress Plotting Room and Building 614, at the York Redoubt National Historic Site of Canada is an L-shaped, one-storey, flat roofed, concrete bunker-like building. The building has a plain box like appearance with wrap around ribbon windows with hinged steel shutters, which are fixed to the sills. Entry is by means of a doorway situated slightly below ground level on the south side. An identical window is situated directly below, at ground level. It has been designated a Federal Heritage Building.
