River Wall, Fort Washington

Description

The wall of Fort Washington that faces the Potomac River. This imposing stone structure would have greeted any invader trying to approach Washington, DC from the Potomac River. The upper brick portion was added during its 1840s renovations to increase the wall's height. Though brick and stone had been the dominate fortification material up until this point, both would be rendered obsolete by the introduction of rifled cannons in warfare less than twenty years later.
