This was taken this weekend as i drove through savannah. Fort Pulaski is located in Savannah Georgia

Yes, Fort Pulaski fits into the neighborhood and society because war is a predominant theme here in Savannah.

The art is there because on April 11, 1862, defense strategy changed nation-wide when the Union rifled cannon overcame a masonry fortification after only 30 hours. It took 18 years to build and was the location of Robert E. Lee’s first military assignment. This 19th century piece of architecture is made up of about 25 million bricks with 7.5 ft. thick walls. It reminds us of the elusiveness of invincibility. Fort Pulaski National Monument was established by Presidential Proclamation on October 15, 1924. It contains 5,365 acres, including some of the most pristine and scenic marshland on the Georgia coast
