HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

The Indianapolis Arsenal was established by the Federal Ordnance Department in April, 1863. Prior to that time, thestate of Indiana operated its own arsenal in Indianapolis to supply munitions for Indiana regiments. The state arsenaloperated from 1861-1864, at which time the land was taken over for use by the Federal Arsenal. Captain of Ordnance,William Y. Riley, was appointed to command the first National Arsenal which was located on forty acres of land onMichigan Avenue on the east side of Indianapolis near the area that became known as Woodruff Place. Riley wasreplaced by Captain Thomas Treadwell in August of the same year. Treadwell oversaw the construction of the firststone storehouse completed in 1865. Over the years, nine other buildings were constructed on the property, with thelast structure being completed in 1893. Unlike its predecessor which also manufactured munitions, the IndianapolisArsenal mainly served as an arms and supply storehouse for the United States Army. It was reported that at one time,the Arsenal stored 100,000 rifles.

The Indianapolis Arsenal had a normal complement of fifty soldiers. Over its nearly forty year history, the Arsenal wascommanded by fifteen different officers. The Arsenal's last two commanders were Major Almon L. Varney (1892-1899) and Major Charles Shaler (1899-1902). During the Spanish American War, the Arsenal's status was raised fromthird to first class. Artillery harnesses and horse equipment were made in its shops.

The Arsenal's importance declined after the war with Spain, and the government authorized its closing in June, 1902.A detachment from Fort Thomas, Kentucky, maintained the grounds until they were purchased for use by the WinonaLake Technical and Agricultural Institution in April, 1903. After six years, Winona Lake went into receivership and inSeptember, 1912, the land was used to start Arsenal Technical Schools, the predecessor of Arsenal Technical HighSchool, which became the city's third high school in 1916.

SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

The collection contains the records of the Indianapolis Arsenal, 1863-1902. The records are divided into five series andreflect the Arsenal's departments and formats of record keeping according to the original order. Departmentsrepresented in the collection are Ordnance, Commissary, and Quartermaster. There also are sections on general postrecords, the post library, and bound volumes of records. The last two series were created for format and storagereasons since both reflect a great number of bound volumes that would be confusing to interfile with the remainder ofthe collection. The records primarily consist of retained copies of correspondence, reports, and supply information thatwere sent to either the War Department or appropriate related areas of the military.

Ordnance records (series one) contain retained copies of correspondence with the government agencies, the OrdnanceDepartment in Washington, D.C., other arsenals in the country, and merchants and suppliers, April, 1863-September,1902.
