It was situated on the grounds of the former Mount Vernon Arsenal, a former United States Army munitions depot dating back to 1828. It closed permanently on October 31, 2012. It was also known for holding a Apache warrior and leader from the 1800s, who’s name was Geronimo. It sits there, crumbling to pieces day after day.
