The story

The Blockhouse is a stone structure on a rock outcrop in the North Woods of Central Park. Built in 1814, it is described as the oldest surviving building in the Park and was part of a fortification system meant to defend New York during the War of 1812. The site is included in self-guided tours such as Wandering in the North Woods and the Fort Landscapes Tour.
