It was built in 1908 for Company H, 6th Infantry of the Pennsylvania National Guard.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the armory is significant under criteria A and C for its role in the Pennsylvania National Guard's armory building program and as a representative example of the T plan armory type. It is one of 37 T plan armories in Pennsylvania and is regarded as having excellent integrity. The building was designed by the Philadelphia firm Price and McLanahan.","narrative":"Built in 1908 in the Borough of Media, this two-story stone building was constructed as a drill hall and headquarters for Company H, 6th Infantry of the Pennsylvania National Guard. Its random rubble walks rise to a crenellated parapet that hides the asphalt shingled roof, and a tudor arch frames the recessed double doors at the center of the front facade. Stone buttresses divide the sides of the drill hall, and the interior retains plaster walls, wood floors and a balcony that extends from the second floor. The building was designed by Philadelphia firm Price and McLanahan, which was known mainly for residences but also produced some commercial work. It is one of 37 armories in Pennsylvania with a T plan, and its Late Gothic Revival design reflects the state's statewide armory building program. The original plan and most of the interior and exterior detail remain intact, although the front doors, drill hall doors and balcony have been altered.","period_of_significance":"1908-1939","architect_builder":"Price and McLanahan","architectural_style":"Late Gothic Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":null,"vacant_flag":null,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:36.223994-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/89002077.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89002077/afaad6c281-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/89002077/afaad6c281-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Unknown authorUnknown author","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MediaPa.6thRegimentArmoryCo.Hc.1909pc.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Unknown authorUnknown author</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:MediaPa.6thRegimentArmoryCo.Hc.1909pc.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71992886","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Armory","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6805453"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/delaware-county/media-armory-89002077/"}
