In its original state, heavy iron-studded oak doors stood at both ends of the sally port. Large granite blocks quarried in Quincy, Massachusetts, line its walls. A sample of the fort’s fine brickwork can be seen on the ceiling. The mortar mixture of oyster shells and horsehair has survived intact as a result of this protected location.
