In 1862, an ammunitions magazine was built in front of the house by Confederate soldiers for their cannons in the defense of Vicksburg. Damage from intensive shelling by Union gunboats during the Siege is still visible inside the house. Tapestry 2014: During the Siege a cannon and ammunitions magazine were placed in the front of The Mary Harwood making it strategic in the defense of Vicksburg.
