1905年,四川机器局(后改名四川兵工厂)在此修建新厂,1909年建成,面积约500亩,在厂区四面均建有用于警卫的碉堡,现存东面的一座。四川机器局旧址是清末在全国修建兵工厂的两处旧址之一,是成都现存的修建时间最早的近代建筑。抗日战争时期,它生产的步枪与手榴弹是川军出作战的主要武器。
Blockhouse of Sichuan Machinery Bureau
Sichuan Machinery Bureau, renamed Sichuan Arsenal, built its new plant here in 1905 and completed in 1909 with an area of about 500mu. It was guarded by blockhouses on four sides, but currently one of which was preserved. It is one of the only two arsenals in the late Qing Dynasty and is the oldest preserved modern structure in Chengdu. During the anti-Japanese war, it produced rifles and grenade as the main weapons for the Sichuan army.
