Additional Description: 1812 Powder Magazine This is one of two identical powder magazines built during the initial phase, 1800-1812. Confederate forces used these two rooms for prepared ammunation storage. To protect the magazines and their contents, Confederate engineers erected an armor barrier of railroad iron to shield each of the doorways. The second magazine is hidden by the 1960,s stairway that leads to the parapet.
