Doylestown National Guard Armory
Built in 1909, the Doylestown National Guard Armory stood on this site for more than 100 years, original home to the only military unit based in Bucks County: Company G, 6th Infantry Regiment, National Guard of Pennsylvania.
Having served as both a community center and military meeting place, the armory's fortress-like walls recall the Bucks County recruits who departed Doylestown for foreign wars in the 20th century. The building's facade, here preserved, fronts the Bucks County Justice Center, which was dedicated in January 2015.
Erected 2017 by Bucks County Commissioners, Doylestown Borough Council, Bucks County Bar Associations, Doylestown Historical Society.
