The guns that sit at the entrance of the Christian Brothers Academy are getting a second life. The Watervliet Arsenal helped restore the guns today and the Arsenal’s apprentices and machinists should have their part of the restoration done by September.

The guns were made in 1914 and 1915 by the Arsenal and according to the Arsenal’s Facebook page, they believe that anything “stamped” with “Watervliet Arsenal” must reflect pride and quality.
