A landmark that has been a topic of controversy because of its need for restoration, the Seventh Regiment Armory sits at 643 Park Avenue in New York, New York.
When it opened its doors in 1880, forty thousand subscribers lined up for the event. The only armory in the United States to be built and furnished with private funds, it originally served as the headquarters and administrative building for the Army's Seventh Regiment, known as the "silk stocking regiments" because of its prestigious roster of members. The Seventh Regiment Armory was the largest volunteer militia in the United States during the 19th century.
The building is known for detailed interior rooms that are furnished with ornamental woodwork, marble and stained glass and fills an entire city block on New York City's upper east side.
For over a full week the Winter Antiques Show is an antiques gathering in the New York City area that annually draws tens of thousands of individuals to the area.
