== [[Endicott Period]] (1890-1910)==
{{HDBoston}}

Originally built as an [[Endicott Period]] concrete coastal gun battery with six 6" M1903 guns mounted on M1903 Disappearing carriages. This was a single-story battery with the guns located on a raised platform and the magazines below. Shells were moved from the magazine to the gun loading platform by shot cart. No shell or powder hoists were needed or provided. Electrical power was furnished by the emplacement power plant and the [[Battery Ripley]] power plant.

This battery was administratively divided in 1906 into [[Battery Sanders]] (4 guns) and [[Battery Pope]] (2 guns). These batteries were again administratively realigned on 12 May 1909, so that each had three guns. The original emplacements 1-3 became [[Battery Pope]], emplacements 1-3. Original emplacements 3-6 retained the Battery Sanders name but became emplacements 1-3. See [[Battery Pope]] for the disposition of that battery.
