Formal Opening of New Armory New Year's Eve

The Register-Leader, December 23, 1915

Charity Ball Will Mark the Opening of Fine New Structure in This City.

The new armory building of Company B, of the Seventh Regiment, O.N.G., will formally open to the public on New Year's Eve, the opening being marked by the Charity Ball which will be held at the armory. Visitors will be shown through the building, and an informal reception will be held.

The new hardwood floor of the main drill hall has just been completed and this completed the construction work of the building.

Now that the armory is completed, it will take a prominent place in the life of the city, for in addition to being devoted to the use of Company B, the G.A.R. and W.R.C. will meet in the armory, and social and athletic affairs will also be held there.
