| 摘要： | Upstate New York's Watervliet Arsenal, the oldest active armory in the United States, brings together an unusual mix of history and engineering. As Americas "gun factory," it has helped arm American military forces for conflicts, stretching from the War of 1812 through the Gulf War in 1991. And it also demonstrated the creativity and ingenuity of 19th-century American engineers, particularly in the use of cast iron as a building material: The arsenal's 1859 ammunition storehouse represents the country's oldest fully metal building and is an early example of prefabricated construction. |
