View of the remains of the Confederate arsenal at Richmond. The brick walls of the Franklin Paper Mill sit, without a roof, behind an arched brick abutment that was once part of a Richmond and Petersburg Railroad bridge. Debris covers the yard of the arsenal, where piles of artillery shells are stacked in rows and can be seen in the foreground on the right and left sides of the image. A group of men gather in the middle of the yard, as two men perched atop a pile of shells look on.
