The Hoosick Falls Armory on the southeastern corner of the intersection of Church Street (NY 22) and Elm Street was built in 1889. Isaac Perry, who was State Architect at the time, designed it. It is a large rectangular brick building with a gabled roof and has two large, round towers flanking its front entrance.

The building is 154 X 75 feet in dimension. The basement had a rifle range. The frill room was 120 X 75 feet without obstruction. Other rooms that were available were officers' quarters, reading room, parlor, locker room, bathroom and a band room for the sole use of a band connected with the company. The building and site cost $37,000.

Originally the armory was occupied by the 32nd Separate Company of the National Guard of NY, which was formed on March 26, 1885. It is the second oldest National Guard armory in New York state. Today, the armory houses the Town of Hoosick offices and is the home of the National Guard Company C, First Battalion. It was added to the State Historical Register in June 1991 and the National Register in March 1995.
