Hornell Armory, Military armory in Hornell, United States.
Hornell Armory is a military building with three main stories, a four-story rounded corner tower, and two attached two-story corner towers. The entire structure occupies a modest site near downtown and combines functional design with defensive-style construction.
The building was constructed in 1894 from designs by architect Isaac G. Perry and reflects construction practices of that era. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
The building has served the community as a gathering place for local events and meetings throughout its years of operation. This dual role made it a significant meeting point for Hornell residents.
The building sits on Seneca Street in downtown Hornell and is easy to reach on foot. Its compact size makes it a straightforward stop during a walk through town.
The building was designed in Richardsonian Romanesque style using brick and stone to create a castle-like military structure. This architectural choice gave it an unexpected appearance for a purely functional facility.
