Not to romanticize paramilitary architecture but I always thought the First Regiment Armory at 16th and Michigan was such a loss. It was so imposing. Knocked down in 1967. Built to protect Prairie Avenue and the homes of Chicagos elite.

The former ubiquity of urban armories and their closings is under remarked upon I feel like. They are a kind of civil infrastructure built as a defense against potential uprisings spurred by fear after the Haymarket affair. Today they’re mostly community centers?
