Seventh Regiment Armory

The Seventh Regiment Armory located at 643 Park Avenue, New York, New York, United States is a historic brick building that fills an entire city block on New York City's upper east side. The building was designed by architect Charles Clinton in the Gothic Revival style and dedicated in 1880. It is the only armory in the United States to be built and furnished with 'private funds. 1  It originally served as the headquarters and administrative building for the Army's Seventh Regiment, known as the Silk Stocking Regiment due to its disproportionate number of social elites. The building is known for detailed interior rooms that are furnished with ornamental woodwork, marble and stained glass.
