Located here were the Alger Garrison (built 1651 by brothers Andrew and Arthur Alger, attacked and abandoned in 1675, both men killed), and Burnham's Garrison (built before 1675) at Blue Point. Richard Foxwell's Garrison (1650 ?) was located on Cascade (Foxwell) Brook, part of the Blue Point settlement.
On the hill above the dockyards stood a residential neighborhood. It was built in the 1920s and â30s and seized by the Navy for officers housing during the war. When the base was decommissioned in 1974 the homes were abandoned. They stood empty and untouched for 30 years, slowly decaying in San Franciscoâs foggy air.
