Cranston Street Armory U.S. Historic District Contributing Property The Cranston Street Armory in the late 1950's Location: Providence, Rhode Island Coordinates: 41°48′58″N 71°25′46″W / 41.81611°N 71.42944°W / 41.81611; -71.42944Coordinates: 41°48′58″N 71°25′46″W / 41.81611°N 71.42944°W / 41.81611; -71.42944 Built/Founded: 1907 Governing body: State of Rhode Island Added to NRHP: 1974 Part of: Broadway-Armory Historic District (#74000047) The Cranston Street Armory is a historic building in Providence, Rhode Island. It was built in 1907 at a cost of $650,000.00, with the firm of M.J. Houlihan supervising its construction.[1] The building was occupied by the Rhode Island National Guard from its opening until 1996. Since then, parts of the building have been used as film studios, and some of its offices occupied by the Rhode Island State Fire Marshal. The National Trust for Historic Preservation lists the Armory as one of "America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places."[2] Its distinctive yellow bricks, crenellated turrets, and decorative stonework mark it as a historically significant building and neighborhood icon. The armory was built with a steel-truss frame, with a large open central hall and two towers with a total of 165,000 square feet (15,300 m2) of space[3]. The main hall alone is as wide as two football fields. After World War I, the armory was used by 243rd Coast Artillery, an in later years by the 43rd and 118th as well.[4] On account of its imposing presence, the Cranston Street Armory has leant its name to the surrounding area of Providence's West End, which is often known as the "Armory District." Several area businesses, among them the Armory Revival Company and Armory Properties, also take their name from this building. The films Outside Providence and Underdog were filmed using the open areas within the Armory for bluescreen work, as well as exterior shots of adjacent areas.
