The seven-story tower looked over a drive- way where horse-drawn vehicles entered to unload. A hand-powered elevator lifted the crates to upper floors. Knapsaclss were man- ufactured in the shops and artillery buildings. On April 18, 1908, the cannon was fired for the last time, and an arts and trades school under the supervision of the Winona Agricultural and Technical Institute began.
