The Seventh Regiment Armory on Park Avenue is unique for its collection of interior styles. According to Interior Landmarks: Treasures of New Yorkit houses “the largest group of Aesthetic Movement interiors in America” and was described by the Landmarks Preservation Commission as “the height of American interior design within a single building for a single client.” Although it was an armory under the New York Station National Guard, the Seventh Regiment Armory was the only armory to be privately funded, and “was one of the most elaborate of the genre,” according to Gura and Wood.

It is currently being used as an art space by nonprofit Park Avenue Armory and has been featured in scenes of Boardwalk Empire. See some photos inside the armory here.
