Burlington State Armory is a historic building located at 191 14th St. in Burlington, Colorado.

History

The Burlington State Armory was constructed by National Guard captain Sidney Frazier in 1926. [1] He had designed numerous buildings in Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Utah, and Washington including the Chemistry Building at Colorado State University. [2] It is the only state armory in east-central Colorado and was used by the public for community gatherings and social events. [3] On June 4, 1951, a Burlington resident held a funeral for himself in the Armory prior to his death. [4]

The two-story building was designed with Tudor Revival architecture [5] and contains similar features to other armories of the time, which included "a battlement roofline, a central pavilion with twin polygonal towers flanking the entrance, and a massive central doorway." [6] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. [7]
