New Haven Armory

  • ... that the Connecticut National Guard, Frank Sinatra, and a full-sized Cape Cod house have all been seen at the New Haven Armory? Source: "While the state built the armory primarily to house the first battalion of the 102nd regiment of the Connecticut National Guard and the 2nd Company of the Governor’s Foot Guard in a separate wing, several other companies also took up residence at various times, including the 102nd Infantry Band, the 118th Medical regiment and late Medical Battalion, and briefly, the Naval Militia (until 1940)."; "In addition, it became a popular venue for nationally known entertainment from Frank Sinatra and the Tommy Dorsey Band at the annual Musician’s Ball, to a Soul Show in 1967 starring several big names of the day, the latter sponsored by an African-American organization."; "The public continued to stage dog and car shows, as well as antique, sportsmen, and home shows in the drill shed, at least one of which featured a full-sized Cape Cod-style house in the 1940s.", from NRHP nomination for New Haven Armory, State of Connecticut.

  • Article is new enough, long enough, and within policy. The hook is verified to a source with an inline citation. The hook is interesting and an appropriate length. This hook can be promoted.4meter4 (talk) 03:18, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
