Info
The Lynn Armory is a historic armory building at 36 S. Common Street in Lynn, Massachusetts. It is one of the best examples of Romanesque Revival architecture in the city. It was built in 1893 out of red sandstone to a design by Wheeler & Northend. It features a head house measuring 68 feet (21 m) wide and 86 feet (26 m) deep, behind which is a drill shed that is 127 feet (39 m) long. The principal features of the facade are designed to evoke a fortified castle: circular towers 22 feet (6.7 m) flank the entrance, and the towers and the front facade are topped by a crenellated parapet.The armory was individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, and included in the Lynn Common Historic District in 1992.
