The 30th Separate Company Armory, also known as the Elmira Armory, formerly located at 307 East Church Street in Elmira, New York, was built from 1886 to 1888. It was a contributing property of the Elmira Civic Historic District.^[1] The structure was designed by J. H. Pierce of the firm of Pierce & Bickford. Following decommissioning by the New York National Guard in the 1970s it was acquired by Chemung County and used as for offices and storage.^[2]

Collapse of facade and demolition

The building was used as an annex to Elmira City Hall until March 10, 2006, when the facade of the Armory building collapsed,^[3] during a major windstorm.^[4] In December 2010, a project to demolish the building was completed.^[3]
