No longer were these facilities built to look intimidating; they were now designed in styles that were not visually associated with defense. Armories designed in the Art Deco and Moderne styles were now in vogue, mostly funded by the WPA to create jobs for both skilled and unskilled laborers during the Depression. The following list of architects, engineers and contractors was compiled from various sources including Robert M. Fogelson’s American’s Armories, State inventories and National Register of Historic Places Nominations. https://www.dot7.state.pa.us/CRGIS_Attachments/Survey/FINAL%20Historic%20Context%208Jun08%20(2).pdf
