ThumbnailDescription & Credit

View from Southwest. Photograph by W.S. Stewart, November 23, 1936. (Reproduction Number: HABS, DEL, 2-NEWCA,41-1) The U.S. government built this arsenal in 1809 under threat of war with Britain. Originally a one-story building with a wagon entrance at each end to help with the storage and distribution of arms, the Old Arsenal played an important role in both the War of 1812 and the Mexican War of 1846-48. It also housed the garrison from nearby Fort Delaware when that fort burned in 1831. The second story and cupola date from the 1850s, when the building was converted into a public school.
