Bunkette
Fort Banks
(1889 - 1966), Winthrop
Originally named Winthrop Military Reservation until 1898. Located here was the combined Battery Lincoln and
Battery Kellogg (1896 - 1943). Both are covered and built on. Battery Lincoln was converted to the Boston Harbor
HDCP in 1943. Battery Kellogg was excavated in 1990 for use by the local Civil Defense. After 1922 this was the
headquarters for Boston's Harbor Defenses. Became a NIKE missile control site in the 1955. Now mostly a housing
complex.
