Battery Boutelle

San Francisco, CA 94129

Battery Boutelle, located in San Francisco, CA, is an Endicott-era battery that was completed in 1900. It was armed with three 5-inch rapid fire guns mounted on balanced pillar mounts, designed to defend against mine sweepers and fast torpedo boats. The battery, named in honor of Lieutenant Henry M. Boutelle, was dismounted in 1917 for service during World War I.

Situated on the coastal bluffs near the Golden Gate toll plaza, Battery Boutelle offers a modern-day view of the Golden Gate Bridge and Marin Headlands. Accessible via Lincoln Boulevard, the battery features parking along Merchant Road and is adjacent to the Coastal Trail. Recent preservation work has stabilized the battery's condition, with safety railings installed for visitor safety.
