Tonawanda Armory
_______________________________________________________________________

69 Delaware St. Tonawanda, NY • 716-834-2111


Architect: Isaac Perry Built: 1896

The Tonawanda Armory, designed by Isaac Perry in 1896, in the Romanesque style, opened in 1897. It was added to the National Register of Historical Places in 1993.

The 40,000 sq. ft. building houses a shooting range, pool, ball room, and many others. It has recently been restored to its original grandeur. The interior was painted a neutral almond-green, the woodwork throughout restored, and the gorgeous wood floors of white oak, pine, and ash have been refurbished after the removal of the floors.

The glass front cabinets, originally used by the soldiers to store their uniforms, have also been restored. The chandeliers are original, handcrafted by French Craftsmen. Originally gas powered, the chandeliers were converted to electric over the years.

The 4 fireplaces are simply works of art. The building has 5 towers with the tallest tower 100 feet above the ground with a flagpole extending another 75 feet.

The view from the tallest tower allows you a panoramic of the skyline all the way from Niagara Falls to Downtown Buffalo.
