The fort's military structures have been replaced by a residential complex (parking areas, 3 apartment buildings, etc.) and recreation facilities of Small Park, which has both a commemorative wall and an historical marker for Fort Heath. ==Grover's Cliff Military Reservation== The Grover Cliff geodetic survey station marker was emplaced in 1847 (, lost by 1922), and the military site was subsequently named Grover's Cliff Military Reservation. November 1890 planning for the military site was for 3 artillery rifles and 16 mortars, and by Spring 1898 Lt Sewail was in charge of construction. A spur of the Boston, Revere Beach and Lynn Railroad was built to the site by March 29,〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=8oo-AAAAIBAJ&sjid=7FkMAAAAIBAJ&pg=3993,3099248&dq=grover's+cliff&hl=en〕 bids for lumber were received in April,〔https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=CIs-AAAAIBAJ&sjid=7FkMAAAAIBAJ&pg=3406,5970252&dq=grovers-cliff&hl=en〕 and the "Winthrop Mortar Batteries" of the regular army (Battery F and Battery M) were ordered to Grovers Cliff in May 1898 for the 16 mortars, with the batteries encamping May 16 on Cherry Street. Constructed during the Endicott modernization period for fortifications, "the first concrete foundation for one of the disappearing guns at Grovers Cliff" was complete in May 1898,〔http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Grovers+Cliff%22&tbs=nws:1,ar:1&source=newspapers〕 and in 1900 the installation was renamed Fort Heath. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fort Heath」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
