| - John Brown's Fort was originally built in 1848 for use as a guard and fire engine house by the federal Harpers Ferry Armory in Harpers Ferry, Virginia (since 1863, West Virginia). An 1848 military report described the building as "An engine and guard-house 35 1/2 x 24 feet, one story brick, covered with slate, and having copper gutters and down spouts…" The building achieved fame when it became John Brown (abolitionist)'s refuge during his 1859 raid on Harper's Ferry. It is the only surviving building of the Armory; the others were destroyed during the Civil War. (en)
- Le fort de John Brown (en anglais : John Brown's Fort ou John Brown Fort) est un bâtiment de Harpers Ferry, en Virginie-Occidentale, connu pour avoir servi de dernier retranchement aux assaillants abolitionnistes du raid raté contre la ville mené par John Brown en octobre 1859. Construit en 1848 pour servir de garage aux pompiers de l'arsenal plus tard visé par le raid, il renferme plusieurs personnalités de la région retenues en otage pendant cet affrontement. Il est ensuite, pendant la guerre de Sécession, utilisé pour servir de prison et dégradé par les chasseurs de souvenirs, étant devenu un symbole. (fr)
