Squadron A Armory, Military armory in Manhattan, United States.
The Squadron A Armory spans 192,955 square feet at 1339 Madison Avenue, featuring red brick construction with massive walls and two crenellated towers.
Architect John R. Thomas designed this military facility in 1895 for Squadron A, which transformed from the First New York Hussars established in 1884.
The Madison Avenue facade received protection from the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, preserving the architectural elements of late 19th century military structures.
The remaining section of the armory now serves as a wall for the playground of Intermediate School 29, while Hunter College schools occupy the eastern portion.
The building contained 100 horse stalls during its military service, reflecting the cavalry origins of Squadron A, which later became the 105th Machine Gun Battalion.
