EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the historic Kingsbridge Armory, also known as the Eighth Regiment Armory, located on West Kingsbridge Road in the Bronx borough of New York City. Built in the early 1900s, the armory was designed by the architectural firm of Pilcher and commissioned by the New York State government to house the National Guard's Eighth Coastal Artillery Regiment, which had relocated from Manhattan in 1917. The grandiose structure, a testament to the military history of the United States, was designed in the Beaux-Arts architectural style, which is characterized by its grand columns, intricate detailing, and classical motifs. The armory served as a vital military installation for many years, providing training grounds and shelter for the regiment. Today, it stands as a significant historical landmark, preserving the rich military heritage of the Bronx and New York City. This photograph, part of the Boswell collection, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of military might and architectural grandeur.
