Springfield Armory National Historic Site, Massachusetts

Albright J. 1978. Springfield Armory National Historic Site, Massachusetts. Historic Structure Report. Historic Preservation Division, National Park Service

This study consists of a historic structure report’s historical data section and a historical base map of the Springfield Armory. The data for both reports are combined in one narrative. This arrangement is dictated by the history of Springfield Armory. The Armory developed over the years since 1776 in a manner blending construction of buildings, formal landscaping, and extensive terrain modification. Hence the data necessary for both the structure report and the base map belong together and are presented together. Illustrations showing the development of the Armory are placed within the narrative as appropriate and not grouped at the back of the study, as is more routine. Only the portion of the Armory on the hill, today’s national historic site, is examined in this study; the water shops are not included.
