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 Lockwood House (Bldg. 56), Brackett House (Bldg. 57), and Morrell House (Bldg. 58), located on the south side of Fillmore Street, Camp Hill, in Harpers Ferry. The construction of Park Buildings 56, 57, and 58 was an outgrowth of the establishment of a national armory at Harpers Ferry at the end of the eighteenth century. This report gives historical details concerning the individual buildings, as well as the founding and decline of Storer College.
