Battery Paul D Bunker, BCN-127
The Battery Today

Today Battery Bunker sits abandoned and un-used, a haven for graffiti and other vandals at the top of the bluff overlooking the Whites Point Nature Preserve. Recent interior examination shows that the battery is holding up quite well. Most rooms are totally dry, there is very little damage from rust and much of the historic fabric such as the magazine doors and shell rails are intact. While the building remains in physically good condition,  vandals continue to gain access to the interior and just about every vertical inch of concrete is covered in graffiti.
 
Despite the vandalism, a surprising number of resources remain intact inside the building. Most of the magazine doors are still mounted, some of the ventilation system, and the overhead track for handling shells is mostly still in place.
