Armories in Manhattan

#17700 - 01/17/05 01:36 PM

Here are 3 active armories in Manhattan. They're part of the NYARNG (New York Army National Guard) http://www.dmna.state.ny.us/

Interesting to think amongst all those hotels, film locations, tourist spots are although minute, military bases...
And there's hundreds....probably thousands of these armouries all over the U.S.....Many shaped like these ones in Manhattan.
Enjoy!

When I was a kid, my great aunt had a condominium apartment diagonally across the street from armory #3. I could look down on from the window of the bedroom I stayed in when visiting. Keyhole and good posting keep bringing back memories.

Thanks for all of your informative posts

No probs, always good to stir up some memories

Was brilliant when I've been able to look at sites I visited when I came to Florida several years ago

Cheers,
