It is associated with military history and represents the Tudor Revival style in its design. The building retains very good integrity.","narrative":"Built in two stages in Milton, the armory consists of a one-story brick drill hall completed in 1922 and a two-story administrative section added to its front in 1930, forming a T-shaped plan over a concrete foundation. W.G. Wilkins of Pittsburgh designed the original building, and Thomas H. Atherton of Wilkes-Barre designed the addition. The drill hall measures 60 by 98 feet and is covered by a gambrel roof supported by riveted steel Howe trusses. The front facade shows Tudor Revival influence through stone window and door surrounds, quoins and coping. The building is significant as a typical example of the state armory type, with its drill hall, rifle range, kitchen, boiler room and offices. Its association with the Pennsylvania National Guard gives it importance for military history. The nomination notes the drill hall floor was replaced after the 1972 flood.","period_of_significance":"1922-1939","architect_builder":"Wilkins, W.G. Company (architect); Atherton, Thomas H.
