    The New York Arsenal builds a workshop at the harbor edge, later enlarged and then replaced in part

    The southeast end of Building 130 dates from 1843, when it was put up as a workshop for the New York Arsenal. Later additions stretched the building to the northwest; all of them were demolished and replaced by the present structure in 1971. A passage through the early section leads to the causeway that connects to the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel ventilator structure.

    “Building 130 was initially built in 1843 as work shop for the New York Arsenal.”
