Description: This photo, taken in September, 2010, looks east along the long east-west gallery of the old (1896) magazine for the mortar batteries. The vantage point is about 50 ft. west from the western tip of the triangular-shaped eastern "head" of that gallery, which glimmers faintly as lighter-colored in the distance. From that tip, the corridor slants off to both the left and right sides, going around the shell/powder rooms within the "head." The same structure exists at the western end of the east-west gallery. This photo is a typical view of the inside of the east-west gallery, except for the section of old shell trolley rail at the upper right of this picture. That rail is about 59 ft. long in total, and runs along only the southeast wall of the gallery, between its eastern "head" and the crossing point of the east-west and north-south galleries. [More of this rail likely existed in the galleries at some time.]
