Paterson Armory
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Paterson Armory, an armory in Paterson, New Jersey, was a facility of the New Jersey National Guard and an arena. The building at 461-473 Market Street was long disused and in a state of disrepair when on November 10, 2015, a fire damaged it heavily.[1] As of November 16, 2015, the armory was in the process of being demolished.[2] Certain decorative features, such as the keystone in the arch at the entrance, may be chiseled out and given to the Paterson Museum[3]

In January 2017, in the absence of proposals, the city relaxed regulations regarding the building site.[4] to encourage re-use and redevelopment for commercial and residential uses.[5] In July 2018, the city announced the potential sale of the armory for new construction including remaining historical elements of the building.[6]
