It is also significant for its link to National Guard and American military history.","narrative":"Completed in 1895, this armory sits on the highest point of a one-acre lot at Florida Avenue and DeWitt Street in South Amsterdam, overlooking the Mohawk River. Designed by State Architect Isaac Perry for the 46th Separate Company of the New York National Guard, it is a fortress-like building of red brick with rough-hewn limestone trim. A two-story administration building with corner towers, a sally port with a portcullis, and a five-story octagonal tower is attached to a drill shed with a steep gable roof carried on steel trusses. Interior features include pressed metal ceilings, oak woodwork, a company meeting room with an oak mantel, and original lockers. The building was listed for its architecture, as a typical example of Perry's armories for mid-sized communities, and for its association with National Guard history. It stayed in active military use until early 1994 and is now vacant.","period_of_significance":"1895","architect_builder":"Isaac Perry, State Architect","architectural_style":"Late Victorian; Castellated","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Form lists current function as vacant; the armory remained in use as an active military facility until early 1994.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:51.21425-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/94000658.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/94000658/fa7c0afea1-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/94000658/fa7c0afea1-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"Jess Mann","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Amsterdam_Armory_-_Stormy.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Jess Mann</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 4.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Amsterdam_Armory_-_Stormy.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75313513","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amsterdam_Castle","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q4748828"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/montgomery-county/amsterdam-46th-separate-company-armory-94000658/"}
