Built in 1908, it is locally notable for its Georgian Revival architecture, and as the city's only armory building.

It was among the last of the state's armories to be built to individualized architectural design.

The main facade has a central projecting entry pavilion, with a recessed entryway set in a segmented archway.

Narrow vertical windows are placed symmetrically on the facade, and a parapet rises above the roofline.

In addition to the high quality of its materials and workmanship, it is the last of the state's armories to be built with individualized architectural design.
