Architectural drawings of state arsenal in New York City, 1841-1847.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/79640526

The series consists of four sheets of ink drawings, with few pencil annotations, of floor plans and sections for an unnamed New York State Arsenal, presumably in New York City. Provenance is unclear, but Henry Storms was commissary general from 1842-1848, and armory construction would be under his jurisdiction according to law. Notes on one of the sheets appear to confirm the project ("as approved July 24, 1847") and indicate either an architect ("by C. Pollard, NY") and possible location (("No. 14 Pine St. NY")-- or, perhaps, the official who approved the project.

The law also authorized a suitable armory or place of deposit for the safekeeping of arms and camp equipment within the bounds of each military regiment. The place for an armory was approved by the commanding officer of each brigade, and the commissary general directed the "size and finishing" of the armory for a cost not to exceed $300 each (...
