Notes
  • Significance: Situated in a manufacturing area southwest of the Greek Revival stone shops on Rodman Avenue, the Artillery Ammunition Assembling Plant was constructed in 1917-1918 to load howitzer shells. The building's Gothic Revival design provided an architectural model for several neighboring, associated structures completed during the same period. Part of the Rock Island Arsenal National Register Historic District, the building embodies an equal concern for utilitarian and aesthetic considerations that became increasingly rare during subsequent wartime construction programs.
