In the early 1820s, the Mexican government inherited the presidio but lost it to the manifest destiny of the United States. By the 1840s the US Army constructed major defense bulwarks on both sides of the “harbor of harbors.” Early earthen and brick bastions gave way to steel and concrete, and eventually missiles bearing nuclear warheads studded the landscape. more... about Bastion by the Bay: The Presidio of San Francisco, from Outpost of Empire to Magnificent Park
