It is also tied to National Guard and American military history, including the reorganization of the state militia and the mobilization of 1916-1917.","narrative":"Built in 1899 at 62 Poultney Street, the Whitehall Armory is a fortress-like brick building with a limestone foundation, designed by State Architect Isaac Perry. It consists of a two-story administration building with towers at its corners and an attached eight-bay drill shed. Castellated parapets, rifle slits, a stone-trimmed arcaded pavilion and a balcony inscribed for Company I, Second Regiment mark the front. The interior keeps oak staircases and mantels, original wooden floors, and a hardwood drill shed floor with balconies and a flying staircase. The $42,000 building replaced a drill room damaged by fire and housed the local company, which began as the Burleigh Corps in 1876 and later became Company I of the 2nd Infantry Regiment. It is considered a typical Perry design for a mid-sized community and an example of armories meant to serve as military facilities, social clubs and civic monuments. It remains in active military use.","period_of_significance":"1899","architect_builder":"State Architect Isaac Perry","architectural_style":"Late Victorian; castellated style","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Still in use as an active military facility; the form describes it as highly intact.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:50.941554-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/95000079.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/95000079/1e2a9ded1d-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/95000079/1e2a9ded1d-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 2.0","author":"Doug Kerr from now in Binghamton, NY","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Whitehall_Armory_Sep_09.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Doug Kerr from now in Binghamton, NY</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 2.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Whitehall_Armory_Sep_09.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75315429","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitehall_Armory","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7995981"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/washington-county/whitehall-armory-95000079/"}
