A historic military storage magazine on Powder House Lane in Beverly, Massachusetts. Built in 1809, this small brick building housed the town's military supplies during the War of 1812. Listed on the NRHP in 2019.
It stands amidst residences built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
It is an eight-sided brick structure with a shingled roof built on a wood frame mounted over a brick dome. The walls have no windows, but is designed to allow for the passage of air through the structure, with circuitous passages through the brickwork.
The building is 17.5 feet in diameter near its base and rises 12.5 feet from its stone foundation to its eaves. Its wooden door is attached to a frame by iron strap hinges. The interior is finished with wooden siding, with shelving fastened to framing embedded in the brick walls by wood pegs.
