Notes
  • Significance: This building was erected in 1839 by William and Samuel B. Anderson and Dr. George B. Stephenson on land which was originally part of the Wager Six Acre Reservation. The Wagers were descendants of Roger Harper. It has been used as a warehouse, a tavern, and a residence. It was located in the downtown section of Harpers Ferry during the Civil War and was a backdrop for the Armory Engine House which served as a refuge for John Brown during his raid of 1859.
