List of armories and arsenals in New York City and surrounding counties

Last updated

This is a comprehensive list of armories and arsenals in New York City and surrounding counties of New York [1] [2] (i.e., in the New York metropolitan and downstate New York areas).

Contents

This list details the structures built between the 18th and 20th century. Many armories were constructed during this period; a few have since disappeared over time, while others have been converted to different uses. Through the decades these structures have been referred to under various names, and this catalog attempts to capture their identity. The list is arranged as follows:

The first unit; street (of reference); region or neighborhood (if referred to as such); year built; address; and name of neighborhood where available.

New York City

Bronx (New York County1 and Bronx County)

Notes:
1. The armories in Bronx were built prior to the borough becoming a separate county in 1914. Before then, it was still part of New York County, which the western section of the present day borough joined in 1874 and the eastern section in 1895. It was previously part of Westchester County (1683).
2. The Tremont Armory at Bathgate Avenue, was a temporary facility used by the (2nd) Second Battery in 1902 until the unit moved to the new Franklin Ave Armory in 1910. [3]
3. The Rose Hill Armory Hall is a later period annexed building to the (New) Rose Hill Manor / Mansion which was built in 1838 and is currently known as the Fordham University Rose Hill Campus Administration Building. [4] [5] [6]
4. Armory Hall at Fordham University does not have a unit detail nor formal street crossing. Therefore, it is recognized by the names of the school representing the site and the campus.

Brooklyn (Kings County)

Defunct (no longer exist):

Notes:
1. Gothic Alley no longer exists in the current New York City grid. It once ran between Adams Street and Pearl Street, south of Nassau Street. Its western section ended near the BRT Fulton Street Line (elevated) (present day Old Fulton Street / Cadman Plaza). Several buildings now occupy the street. Both Pearl Street and Nassau Street sections of this area were also decreased and no longer run through there. [13]
2. The (2nd) Second Avenue / Sunset Park / Brooklyn Arsenal (1925; 1924–1926) building replaced the (2nd) Second Division / North Portland Avenue / State Arsenal (1858).

Manhattan (New York County)

Defunct (no longer exist):

22d Regt Armory, 67th St
Notes:
1. The Fifth Avenue Arsenal (ca. 1808) was replaced by the (7th) Seventh Regiment / Fifth Avenue / Central Park Arsenal (1848) on the same site.
2. The(8th) Eighth Regiment / Park Avenue Armory (1888–1889) was replaced by the Squadron A / Madison Avenue / Carnegie Hill Armory (1894–1895) on the same site.
3. The Lincoln Square Armory building is currently part of ABC Studios and is at times referred to as such.
4. The State Arsenal (ca. 1808) was eventually replaced by (1st) First Division / Downtown Arsenal (1844)) on the same site.
5. The (22nd) Twenty-Second Regiment / 14th Street Armory (1863) building was replaced with the (9th) Ninth Regiment / West 14th Street Armory (1894–1896) building, which was later replaced by (42nd) Forty-Second Division / West 14th Street Armory (1971) building, which in turn was replaced by a mix residential use structure, all on the same site.
6. The former site of the (12th) Twelfth Regiment / Columbus Avenue Armory (1886–1887) is now occupied by Fordham University's Lincoln Square campus where a memorial is dedicated by the 12th Regiment. [17]
7. The (71st) Seventy-first Regiment / Park Avenue Armory (1894–1902) building was eventually replaced by (71st) Seventy-first New York Volunteers / Park Avenue Armory (1904–1906) on the same site.

Queens (Queens County)

Defunct (no longer exists):

Notes:
1. According to NYCityMap historical aerials the 172nd Street-Jamaica Armory building was present in 1924. Still, the (104th) One Hundred and Fourth Field Artillery used the building as a temporary facility between 1929–1936 until the new 168th Street-Jamaica Armory was completed. [19]
2. When the IRT Flushing Line was extended along Roosevelt Avenue into Flushing, Amity Street was absorbed and the name Roosevelt Avenue was placed to follow the train line. [20]
