Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits

Built in 1848 as the armory superintendent's home, the house was used as officers' quarters during the Civil War. The building was conveyed to Storer College in 1869, replacing Lockwood House as school headquarters. After an addition in 1882, Anthony Memorial Hall contained the main library, museum, music rooms, chapel hall, lecture room, science laboratories and administrative offices. In 1906, the Niagara Movement met in this building. It now serves as a training center for the National Park Service.
