[1] In 1871 the U.S. Army decided to build an edifice that would contain all the individual units that had spread all around Jeffersonville.
A 100-foot (30 m) tower was initially built as both watchtower and watertower, but was razed in 1900 to make the power plant into a two-story headquarters building.
It stayed in operation for the Korean War, but by 1957 it was decided to close the facility, which happened in 1958.
The U.S. Census Bureau, Kitchen Kompact, and Kessler Distilling acquired much of the facilities, with the original Quadrangle becoming a low-rent shopping center.
A gut-renovation project ensued between 2005 and 2006, and today it is home to numerous offices, storefronts, and the city hall for Jeffersonville.
