Armory, 1916
Title
Armory, 1916
Description
400 N. Madison at the intersection with Hutchins.
This building was built in 1912 after a previous armory on Calhoun between Dean & Jefferson was destroyed by fire in 1910. Used by Woodstock Company G, of the 3rd Illinois Regiment during World Wars I and II. When not being used as an armory it was used for "mercantile purposes," dances, and even roller skating. It was replaced by the Armory on 1301 Sunset Ridge Rd near Route 14 in 1991. It was turned into condos in 2003.
Woodstock Armory postcard taken by Curt Teich in 1916. The number 66934-N indicates that it is a reprint. The postmark is 1945.
