This building houses the Oswego YMCA and has for many, many years, however, its original purpose was as the New York State Armory.
The New York State Armory, built in the style of a medieval castle. Completed in 1906, the building was designed by George Lewis Heins, who also designed other armories in the state. Heins was appointed New York State Architect by Governor Theodore Roosevelt. This is actually the second armory in Oswego--the original stands across the river on Route 481.
