This 1814 drawing of the commandant's quarters at the U.S. Arsenal in Pennsylvania shows both the chamber and the ground floor, so it records how the officer's living space was laid out. The arsenal was part of the federal government's effort to store and produce military supplies after the War of 1812, and the Pittsburgh area's river access made it a practical site. Drawings like this one guided construction and room planning, which makes the layout a useful record of early federal military architecture in the region.
