Armory on My Mind

Recently, a reader shared these remarkable post card images of the Hudson Armory with Gossips, which I had never seen before. The first is undated, but it includes one of the "fountain head pumps" that were once located throughout the city, so it would seem this is the earliest of the three, probably showing the armory soon after it was completed in 1898. The other two post cards are dated 1911 and 1917 respectively.
