Powder Magazine (Montgomery, Alabama)

The Powder Magazine is a historic building in Montgomery, Alabama. The gunpowder magazine was built in 1861 west of the city on a bluff overlooking the Alabama River. Gunpowder for the Confederate Army was stored there during the Civil War, and afterward it was used for general storage. A public park was proposed for the site as early as the 1970s, but the area lay empty until the opening of an artificial whitewater park in 2023.
The magazine is a one-story brick building with a pyramidal roof. The walls are thick, and the entry door has an iron sill and iron bars. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
