According to the National Park Service, this is the remains of a fog signalling station, and the flat part on the roof of the building to the right apparently is where a search light hut was located. The foundations are for the homes of the station masters. They have a cool picture of the installation just as the pier for the Golden Gate Bridge was going up in one of their <A HREF="http://www.nps.gov/goga/planyourvisit/upload/sg-foba-horseshoe_cove.pdf" REL="nofollow">walking tour brochures</A> on their <A HREF="http://www.nps.gov/goga/historyculture/fort-baker.htm" REL="nofollow">web site</A>. Apparently there is still a fog signal located in the remaining crumbling building to make those creepy moaning foghorn noises to warn ships away from the point when it's dark and foggy, but it's all automated nowdays of course, not like back in the day when a stationmaster had to tend it. <BR/><BR/>- Badtux the Googling PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.com
