Taken by O'Sullivan. Frassanito states that this is the earliest known photograph of the gatehouse after the battle. The artillery earthworks occupied by Stewart's Battery B, 4th U.S. Arty. can be seen in the foreground. Seated in the wagon that is on the Baltimore Pike are a few of the many civilians that would flock to the battlefield shortly after the fighting was over.
