Warren Armory
Why it's listed
Built in 1909 in Warren for Company I, 16th Regiment of the Pennsylvania National Guard, this two and one half story brick armory was designed by A.P. Mount of Corry in the Romanesque style. A gambrel roof covers the building, which is three bays wide and ten bays long. The second floor holds a drill hall measuring approximately 51 by 75 feet, with a wood floor and a ceiling carried on steel Howe trussed arches. The main west elevation has a projecting central entrance with a segmental brick arch and stone keystone, and the front is topped by brick corbeling, small turrets, and a crenelated parapet. The armory is one of seven in Pennsylvania with its drill hall above the administrative area. Its basement held a rifle range, target pit, and instruction room, while the first floor contained a kitchen, locker room, and offices. Later alterations included bricked-up openings and new partitions, and the roof was partly replaced.
Significance in brief: The armory is significant under criteria A and C as a member of the State Armory Building property type under the Pennsylvania National Guard Armories multiple property nomination. It is one of seven armories in Pennsylvania with the drill hall located above the administrative area. The building has good integrity.

What listing means for this property
For a publicly owned building or structure, listing mainly matters when federal funds, permits or licences are involved: projects then go through Section 106 review so effects on the property are considered. Listing also strengthens applications for preservation grants and, for leased income-producing uses, can enable the federal rehabilitation tax credit.
