Park Avenue Armory

The Seventh Regiment Armory, also known as the Park Avenue Armory, is a historic National Guard armory building located at 643 Park Avenue in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York City. The brick and stone structure was built in 1880 and designed in the Gothic Revival style by Charles W. Clinton.

Designed by architect Charles W. Clinton in the Gothic Revival style, the building was completed in 1880. The construction workers were R. L. Darragh, and the masons were Van Dolson & Arnott. It is one of only two armories in the United States that were privately funded and equipped. Originally the headquarters and administrative building for the 7th New York Militia Regiment, it was known as the Silk Stocking Regiment due to its disproportionate number of members who were part of the city's social elite. The building is renowned for its exquisite interior rooms, which feature ornate woodwork, marble, and stained glass.
