It has a two-story administration building and an attached drill shed.","why_significant":"The armory is argued to be a representative early twentieth century New York Army National Guard armory. It combines a military facility and social club, a civic monument, an administration building with an attached drill shed, and Tudor-inspired medieval military styling. It is also tied to National Guard and American military history.","narrative":"Oneida Armory, at 217 Cedar Street, was built in 1930 for a local unit of the New York Army National Guard. State Architect William Haugaard designed it as a restrained, Tudor-inspired complex: a two-story administration building with a central entrance pavilion, a portcullis-protected oak door and an oriel window bearing the state seal, joined to a two and one-half story drill shed. Both parts have steel frames with brick walls and limestone trim. Inside, original glazed terra cotta walls, terrazzo floors, oak woodwork, steel roof trusses and a hardwood drill floor survive. The building is considered significant as a representative armory of its era. It serves as a military facility and social club, acts as a civic symbol of government presence, pairs an administration block with a drill shed, and echoes medieval military architecture. It also reflects the National Guard's long role in American military history. Haugaard designed at least twelve upstate armories, and Oneida's is among the simpler, classically flavored Tudor Revival examples.","period_of_significance":"1930","architect_builder":"William Haugaard, State Architect","architectural_style":"20th Century Revival: Tudor Revival","criteria":["A","C"],"status_note":"Listed as still serving as an armory (current function: Defense; Armory), and the interior is described as retaining a high degree of integrity.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:51:50.37805-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NY/95000084.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/95000084/8d31165955-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/95000084/8d31165955-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 4.0","author":"rossograph","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Oneida_Armory_Oneida,_NY.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">rossograph</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:Oneida_Armory_Oneida,_NY.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/75313515","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oneida_Armory","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7093654"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/new-york/madison-county/oneida-armory-95000084/"}
