The Seventh Regiment Armory was designed by architect Charles Clinton in 1880. Designed in the Gothic Revival style, it is the only armory in the country to be built and furnished using private funds. The building originally served as the headquarters of the 7th New York Militia Regiment, which counted among its members a high number among the city's social elite.

Today the Seventh Regiment Armory is used by Park Avenue Armory, a not-for-profit arts organization. It also houses the 53rd Army Liaison Team of the New York Army National Guard, the Veterans of the 7th Regiment, the Knickerbocker Greys and the Veteran Corps of Artillery. The building was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1986.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
