handsome mansions formerly the quarters OF
rhe eosmandant and officers of the arsenal.
Between these Is large and tasteful fOun-

OF the old penitentiary, and here were
executed Mrs. Surratt and the other con

will be. Some Of the officers are now
quartered in the room above. Here
were the offices of Colonel McNutt. the ord

senal, one of the oldest officers of the ord

personal friend of President Grant. Here all
the official business of the arsenal was trans
