Hessian Barracks, Military barracks in Frederick, US.
The two-story stone structure features gallery porches and a gable roof, constructed with limestone and wood in Georgian architectural style.
Built in 1777, the barracks housed British and German prisoners during the American Revolutionary War, with nearly 1,000 prisoners by 1780.
The buildings served multiple functions through time, from a state armory to hosting the Agricultural Society of Frederick County's annual exposition.
The Maryland School for the Deaf currently occupies the property, which maintains its historical significance while serving educational purposes.
Lewis and Clark utilized the barracks in 1802 as a supply depot for their expedition into the American West.
