History
The Veterans' Room, designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany, Associated Artists, and architect Stanford White, was completed in 1881. Between 1909 and 1914, the armory was remodeled and renovated by Robinson and Kunst (a New York City firm). Among the changes include addition of the fourth story and removal of belfry above the center tower. A fifth story was added and other interior alterations were completed in 1913 by A. H. Davenport Company. In 2010, the Lexington Avenue facade was restored.
Prior to construction of this armory, the 7th Regiment occupied the following locations:
