Caption: THE GUARD HOUSE.

At the entrance gate stands the old Guard House, which is one of the historic buildings of Pennsylvania. It was built by the Hessian soldiers whom Washington captured at the battle of Trenton, in 1776, and sent to this place as prisoners of war. The School follows a system of military guard duty, and the Guard House is used as the headquarters for the sentinels.

This image was published in United States Indian School Carlisle, Penna (Carlisle, PA: The School, [1895?]), p. 47 with the caption:

PRINTING OFFICE.

This department can hardly be surpassed as an educational factor and is open to both sexes. The office is equipped with one oscillating Campbell press and two eclipse, as well as smaller job presses, all run by steam

 Many of the photographs in that publication were taken by student photographer John Leslie.  Because this print is pasted into an album, we cannot confirm if this one was or not.
