Paterson Armory
The Paterson Armory, an armory in Paterson, New Jersey, was a facility of the New Jersey National Guard and an arena. The building at 461-473 Market Street was long disused and in a state of disrepair when on November 10, 2015, a fire damaged it heavily.
As of November 16, 2015, the armory is in the process of being demolished.〔http://www.northjersey.com/news/paterson-armory-set-for-demolition-1.1452978〕〔http://www.nj.com/passaic-county/index.ssf/2015/11/fire_ends_paterson_armorys_colorful_120-year_histo.html〕 Certain decorative features, such as the keystone in the arch at the entrance, may be chiseled out and given to the Paterson Museum〔http://www.northjersey.com/news/demolition-of-fire-gutted-paterson-armory-begins-1.1454959〕
== Architecture and history ==
Paterson was the first place in the state to apply for the construction of an armory under a law passed in 1889, and is built on ground which was originally 12 city lots and transferred to the state by Passaic County.
The laying of the cornerstone of the Paterson National Guard Armory took place on Memorial Day in 1894, built for the state's Second Regiment. Completed in 1896, the 53,800-square-foot crenellated three story brick and steel armory is situated on 1.2 acres in Downtown Paterson., and has been compared to a fortress or castle.〔 Soldiers were deployed for combat in the Spanish-American War, World War I and World War II from the armory which housed a unit descended from the old Second Infantry until 1956. The arena was a site of rallies during the 1913 Paterson silk strike. It was also used as a venue for the circus, concerts, boxing matches, and basketball games.〔 Native son Lou Costello, before beginning his career, once won a competition imitating Charlie Chaplin at the armory. The facility was last used by the military in March 1983.〔 and the building not been in use since 1990.〔 It was later sold to a private-owner, and then taken over by the city for non-payment of taxes.〔
