Lockwood House, Harpers Ferry: Historic Structure Report
GWWO, Inc., Architects. 2006. Lockwood House, Harpers Ferry: Historic Structure Report. National Park Service
This report describes the physical condition and historical context for the Lockwood House at Harpers Ferry National Historic Park. The Lockwood House was originally the paymaster's quarters for the federal armory at Harpers Ferry. During the Civil War it was occupied at different times by Union and Confederate forces, and took its current name from Union general Henry H. Lockwood who at one point used it as his headquarters. After the war, the house became part of Storer College, one of the first colleges for African Americans in the U.S. The NPS restored the exterior of the house to its Civil War appearance in the 1960s. The report recommends further restoration and rehabilitation of the interior of the house.
