Caption:
Description: View of the Armory and Museum building in the north central part of the Navy Yard, taken by Brady & Company in June 1866. There are several small cannon on field carriages outside, with several types of projectiles and mines (torpedos) exhibited along the sidewalk. Note Bureau of Ordnance shields over the doors, with the left door having an Armory sign over it and the right door having a Museum sign. The photograph looks NNE from about the northeastern corner of the present (1997) Building 112. This small museum building is located about where Building 183 was located in 1997.
