Significance: During and immediately after World War I, the Ordnance Department erected several buildings on Rodman Avenue, just west of the nineteenth-century, Greek Revival stone shops. To maintain the "grand boulevard" appearance of Rodman Avenue, these buildings were designed in a classical revival style. Completed in 1918, the Field and Siege Building was part of this construction program. It is a significant example of military industrial design that expanded the arsenal's manufacturing program while preserving its overall architectural integrity. The Field and Siege Building is part of the Rock Island Arsenal National Register Historic District.
