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 Structures Report concerns the John T. Rieley Building (Bldg. 37) of the Lower Town in Harpers Ferry. The building was constructed between 1803 and 1813, although it was significantly altered around 1917 and retains most of its c.1917 appearance on both the interior and exterior. This c.1917 appearance will be preserved. The first floor of Building 19 is to contain a period exhibit. This area will be open to visitors and will display cabinetry from a nineteenth century drugstore.
