The "Old Powder House," located at the corner of College Avenue and Broadway, is considered the most distinct ruin Massachusetts. Built in approximately 1704, it was used to store arms and ammunition during both the Indian and Revolutionary Wars.
In 1890 the Powder House was presented to the City of Somerville by the descendants of Nathan Tufts, who owned the land at that time. The public park surrounding the monument is therefore known as "Nathan Tufts Park."
