Located near the gun batteries of the coastal bluffs, Fort Scott was recognized in 1912 to serve as head office for the Coastal Artillery Corps of the San Francisco Bay area. Mission Revival style buildings the first of this style to be built on the Presidio-characterize the post and the U-shaped parade ground breaks from fixed quadrangular plan. With the advent of missiles and long-range bombers after World War II, Fort Scott lost its planned importance and became part of the Presidio in 1956. The post was finally converted to an Army Education Center.
