Prescott Armory Historic District
About this property
The Prescott Armory Historic District is a 12 acres (4.9 ha) historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. It is a group of properties which "are all associated with Depression Era The district includes the Prescott Citizen's Cemetery, the Smoki Pueblo and Museum, Prescott's National Guard Armory (now Prescott Activity Center), and the City Park and Ballfield (now Ken Lindley Field). All four of the buildings and two structures in the district are vernacular architecture (i.e. without high style). The armory, however, includes some elements of Richardsonian Romanesque architecture in its detailing, and the grandstand includes minor elements of Art Deco design. The district is roughly bounded by E. Gurley, E. Willis, N. Arizona, E. Sheldon and N. Rush Streets. It was deemed significant for "its association with the Depression-era in Prescott and the impact of various public relief efforts, both public and private. It is also significant ... because it presents a cohesive group of projects which represent a style and technique common during the Depression-era. The period of significance dates from 1930, when the first local efforts began in response to the Great Depression (1929-1942) and 1939, corresponding to the completion of the last building within the District, the Prescott National Guard Armory."
