Regarding U.S. Arsenal. The Arsenal or Commandant's House is an excellent example of the Federalist style of architecture erected by our federal government. The house was part of a three acre federal complex comprising barracks, arsenal, magazine, workshops, etc., built to support American forces waging the war of 1812. Located across the military road to Sacket's Harbor, the house stood on a slight eminence with an orchard and Wood Creek on the west and gardens on the east. The construction took place in 1813 under the supervision of Major James Dalleba of the Federal Ordnance Department.
