LARGE ARSENAL
Description: The Large Arsenal dominates this 1803 print
of Harpers Ferry. Built in 1799-1800, this two-story brick structure
measured 125 feet by 32 feet. Here, firearms manufactured in the
adjacent Armory were stored. Also pictured, from lower left to lower
right, are an Armory structure, the Harper House, the Potomac ferry,
and a flat-bottomed "gundalow" descending the Shenandoah
River with a load of cargo.
