30th Separate Company Armory


The 30th Separate Company Armory, also known as the Elmira Armory, formerly located at 307 East Church Street in Elmira, New York, was built from 1886–1888. It was a contributing property of the Elmira Civic Historic District. The structure was designed by Joseph H. Pierce of the firm Pierce and Bickford. Following decommissioning by the New York National Guard in the 1970s it was acquired by Chemung County and used as for offices and storage.

Collapse of facade and demolition

The building was used as an annex to Elmira City Hall until March 10, 2006, when the facade of the Armory building collapsed, during a major windstorm. In December 2010, a project to demolish the building was completed.
