Its exterior combines Tudor Revival and Late Gothic Revival elements, including a gambrel roof, corbelled brick cornices, stone trim, and a two-story Tudor arch around the central entrance flanked by polygonal towers. The drill hall measures 55 by 82 feet, and typical interior spaces include offices, a kitchen, a boiler room, and storage. It is significant as one of at least thirty-seven Pennsylvania armories built on a T plan and as an example of the armory's function of serving the National Guard for storage, meetings, and training. The W. G. Wilkins Company of Pittsburgh designed it, a firm responsible for several armories in the western third of the state.
