The White Plains Armory is a historic building in White Plains, New York, in Westchester County.
Located at 65 Mitchell Place/35 South Broadway, the building was built to serve as a National Guard armory.[1] Construction of the building began in 1909 and was completed in 1910.[1] The building was designed by architect James E. Ware.[1] The building was 31,612 square feet and takes up three-quarters of an acre.[1] 49th Separate Company/Company L, 10th Infantry Regiment occupied the armory from 1910 to 1939.[1] From April 1924 to November 1929, the White Plains Armory was the temporary headquarters of Troop K of the New York State Police, after a March 3, 1924 fire destroyed the troop's headquarters at Gedney Farms.[2] The police troop left the Armory in November 1929 after a new headquarters in Hawthorne was completed.[2]
Subsequently, the building's tenants were the 106th Infantry Regiment and then the Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion, Company D, 212th Field Artillery.[1]
It is located on the site of the first courthouse where the Declaration of Independence was read on July 11, 1776.[3]
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
The building was vacated in 1977.[1] In 1982, it was converted to Armory Plaza, a senior housing complex with a senior center on first floor.[1] [4] [5]
