Its administration section dates from 1930 and its drill hall from 1937.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the armory is significant under criteria A and C at the statewide level, in the Military and Architecture areas. It was built for the 109th Motor Transport Company of the Pennsylvania National Guard and is one of at least 37 armories with a T plan in Pennsylvania. Its designer, Joseph F. Kuntz, is credited with at least 18 armories in the Western third of the state.","narrative":"Built in 1930 for the 109th Motor Transport Company of the Pennsylvania National Guard, the Huntingdon Armory occupies a sloped site along PA Route 26 near the edge of the Borough of Huntingdon, with Standing Stone Creek forming the rear boundary. Its T-shaped plan combines an administration section completed in 1930 with a drill hall added in 1937, both faced in running-bond yellow brick over structural tile walls. Flat roofs carry parapets with small crenellations and stone coping, and four double-door entrances are spaced evenly across the front facade. Metal casement windows light the basement and first floor. The interior is spare, with woodwork limited to doors and trim, and includes a classroom, locker room, kitchen and garage in the basement and offices and the drill hall on the first floor. The drill hall was funded in part by federal economic recovery programs. Designed by Joseph F. Kuntz of Pittsburgh, the building is regarded as a strong example of the T-plan armories built across Pennsylvania, and it retains most of its original features.","period_of_significance":"1930-1939","architect_builder":"Joseph F.
