Notes
  • Significance: After taking command of Rock Island Arsenal in 1865, General Thomas Jefferson Rodman devised a master plan for the installation calling for the construction of ten large manufacturing shops, five on each side of the island's major east-west thoroughfare. These manufacturing structures were supplemented by a variety of administrative, residential, maintenance, storage, and utility buildings. Forming a cohesive architectural statement that is unique among Midwest government installations, the Rodman plan buildings are the administrative and technological core of Rock Island Arsenal, one of only two "old-line, nineteenth-century arsenals still in operation for munitions production. The buildings are vital for understanding the history of American ordnance development and manufacture from the Spanish American War to the present. Located just north of the central manufacturing shops, the Reservoir was the first permanent buildings erected under the Rodman plan. Designed by Rodman, it was completed in 1869 and remained in use for over a century, distributing water through an underground pipe system to administrative, manufacturing, and residential structures. The Reservoir is part of the Rock Island Arsenal National Register Historic District.
