Harpers Ferry National Historical Park preserves historic resources and commemorates the historic events that occurred at and around Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. The park consists of portions of the Lower Town, the former Storer College campus, landscapes associated with the national historical park’s Civil War significance, and lands preserving the historic viewshed down the Potomac River. This Historic Building Report gives historical data concerning the Ann C. Stephenson Buildings (Bldgs. 12 and 12a). The first floor of Bldg. No. 12 was used as a dry goods store from 1839 to 1861. The upper floors of the house were utilized during the same period as the residence of the shop keepers of the store located below. The first floor of Bldg. No. 12A may have been used as a small shop or perhaps as a "counting room" for the main store in 12. The cellar of 12A probably served as a ware house for the store. The second floor of 12A contained the kitchen and a pantry for the service of the main building.
