Enlisted Men's Barracks
Long rectangular foundations are all that remain of the two-story brick soldiers' barracks that stood here from 1809, when Fort Moultrie III was new, until Confederates razed it in 1863 to eliminate the danger from flying debris should the building be hit by shells. The fort's officers lived in a similar, but more comfortably appointed, barracks across the parade.
A Confederate photographer took this picture of the barracks in 1861.
Marker can be reached from Middle Street, on the right when traveling east.
