Editing Armory (section)

== The Armory ==
The Armory was initially built as the Troy Armory in 1920 to replace the Ferry Street Armory, which had been destroyed in a fire in 1917. Designed by architect Lewis Pitcher, the 9.67 acre property served as a headquarters for the New York Guard and National Guard in the area. These units stationed at the Armory included the 105th Army Regiment from 1921 through World War II, where the Regiment saw significant action in the Pacific Theater. From 1961 to 1971, Company "A" 205th Artillery was stationed at the Troy Armory.
