1. U.S. Arsenal-Sutler's Shop 1833-1875 Marker
Built originally as the Sutler's Shop where soldiers might purchase tobacco and needed supplies, this 36' x 25' brick building with its slate roof was but one of the eleven buildings which comprised the arsenal.
Enclosed by a 12' high brick wall, the Sutler's Shop was the north-eastern most building in the arsenal square, to the west was the guard house of almost equal size while to the south, approximately on the site of the Masonic Temple stood the armory, a 3-story building 120' x 37' in size used for the storage of military equipment and for social activities.
