Fort York in 1813, after the American attack, and in 1816.
Original caption:
- After the Americans destroyed York's defenses in 1813 the British had to provide barracks, magazines, storage and defences for the shore batteries quickly. The construction of blockhouses in late 1813 addressed these concerns. After the rest of Fort York was constructed in 1814-15, the blockhouses changed from being 'front-line' works to become 'citadels' within the larger fort.
