Watertown Arsenal (Mass.).; Army Materials Research Office.; Army Materials and Mechanics Research Center (U.S.).; Materials Technology Laboratory.; U.S. Army Research Laboratory.; Building, Greek revival.;

Greek Revival building surrounded by old cannons and materials in barrels. Building is in disrepair - hole in window, no front staircase etc. This is a one story laboratory erected in 1842 for the cost of $970. Probably the only use of a full-blown Greek Revival idiom at the Arsenal, the building was later used for storage purposes and razed in 1917.
