History

[edit]

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]
