If I remember, only a handful of buildings date to 1865. Most of the yard was rebuilt in the 1880s and 1890s. The leg of Col. Ulrich Dahlgren was suppose to be entombed behind a plaque in one of the walls. When they tore down the wall, they were ready to document and film the removal of Dahlgrens leg. Iit wasn't there. I believe the plaque is now attached to the historic parking garage. The Navy Yard has a very nice museum, but very difficult to get on base. Be prepare to show proper state issued ID, automobile registration and proof of insurance. |
