Additional Property Attributes

Former firing range on Fort Williams army base Former Use: Fort Williams was in use as a United States Army fort from beginning in 1872 until 1964. Originally the fort contained three batteries (Battery Sullivan, Battery DeHart, and Battery Hobart, all with large coastal artillery defense guns) which were all constructed from 1896 to 1898. Battery Blair (1903), Battery Garesche (1906), and Battery Keyes (1906), were later added. Overtime a naval minefield, wharf, and an underground bunker for the submarine mine system as well as multiple support buildings and infrastructure were constructed. During the early 1900s and through World War I the and types of guns changed often with anti-aircraft guns added and later some of the older guns shipped to the Western Front in France. The site remained in use first by the Harbor Defenses of Portland, then by Air Defense Command's Lashup Radar network, and finally by the Air National Guard as a training Site. In 1962 Fort Williams officially closed and was sold to the Town of Cape Elizabeth in 1964 who remains the owner of the property.
