Image Description:
Located at 21st and Ludlow streets, the building illustrated above proved too small, and in 1901 a new armory was constructed at 23rd and Ranstead streets. Built with private funds, it is the only armory owned by its occupants, which is now part of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard. Today, the building can be rented for special events.
