Houston Light Guard Armory
Designed by noted Houston architect Alfred C. Finn, the armory was constructed in 1925 to replace an 1892 building that had become obsolete. Finn detailed the building to suggest a Late Renaissance period Neo-Gothic English masonry, represented by the alternating bands of brick and stone and elaborate relief panels above the arched entrance. The building has been owned by the Houston Light Guard, the State of Texas, and the Houston Community College. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark - 1992
