Kingsbridge Armory, Military armory in Kingsbridge Heights, The Bronx, United States.
The Kingsbridge Armory occupies a 5-acre block with a nine-story red brick building featuring intricate brickwork, turreted towers, and a curved metal roof.
Constructed in 1917 for the New York National Guard's Eighth Coast Defense Command, the armory received landmark status in 1974 and joined the National Register in 1982.
The facility transformed from military operations to community service, hosting exhibitions, boxing matches, and serving as an emergency distribution center during Hurricane Sandy and COVID-19.
The armory contains a 180,000-square-foot drill hall without columns and an auditorium that accommodates 800 people, making it suitable for large-scale events.
A new $200 million renovation plan emerged in 2023 after extensive community input from 4,000 residents to determine the future purpose of this military structure.
