Its front section is three stories including an exposed basement and holds the administrative offices, while the two-story rear section contains the drill hall, which measures 5,193 square feet and has steel Howe trusses. The building was designed by A. P. Mount and Son of Corry and constructed by G. Thomas and Sons. It was erected for Company I, 1st Battalion, 112th Infantry of the Pennsylvania National Guard. The facade is divided into three panels by battered brick buttresses, and the center panel features a semicircular stone arch over double doors. The building is significant for its military use and its architecture. It is one of thirty-seven Pennsylvania armories with a T plan, and its spaces, including the drill hall, kitchen, boiler room, and locker room, reflect that type. Alterations include bricked-in windows and replaced front doors, but the building retains good integrity.","period_of_significance":"1906-1939","architect_builder":"Mount, A.P. and Son (architect); Thomas, G. and Sons (builder)","architectural_style":"Romanesque","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 17:11:37.555721-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/91000509.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/91000509/658770c607-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/91000509/658770c607-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Niagara","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Corry_Armory,_July_2014.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Niagara</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Corry_Armory,_July_2014.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"100007549","name":"Corry Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/pennsylvania/corry-historic-district-100007549/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71992898","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corry_Armory","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5173100"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/erie-county/corry-armory-91000509/"}
