Historic Structure Report: Western Grounds, Old Parade Ground, MacArthur Avenue, Fort Mason, Golden Gate National Recreation Area/California
The Historic Structure Report contains the administrative, historical, and architectural data sections on the Western Grounds, MacArthur Avenue, and Old Parade Ground at Port Mason in Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The archeological data section is included but is brief, since a separate report on the archeological resources of the area was completed in 1978. The administrative data section discusses the preservation plans and interpretive purposes of the subject areas. The historical data section traces the history of the grounds from the time it was founded by the Spaniards as the Presidio in 1776 to its demise as parade grounds in 1929 when it was used as a construction site. MacArthur Avenue was constructed in 1914 as part of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition and is the only surviving element of the fair. The history of the post is discussed to give context to the subject areas. Conclusions and recommendations are provided for each area. The architectural data section details the development of MacArthur Avenue and the Old Parade Grounds by breaking the information down chronologically with brief descriptive statements for each data.
