From the Richmond Enquirer, 10/31/1861, p. 3, c. 4
STATE ARMORY. - A hundred flint-locks muskets of those
gathered by the agents from the different sections of the Commonwealth, are
altered daily at the State Armory, now located in Stuart's Factory, at the
corner of 7th and Cary streets. They are in quantities, to the field,
to replace an equal number of flint-lock muskets now in the hands of the
volunteers. The machinery in the State Armory, though simple, is amply
sufficient for the purpose to which it has been devoted with great assiduity,
for some months past.
