The Old Armory on 1st Ave., E., in Williston, North Dakota was built in 1915 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
According to its NRHP nomination, the building's significance rests on two factors:
The Old Armory brought together diverse sectors of the public in its creation and subsequent use: local government, military, private business, and the general townspeople. In architectural character it is uncommon, yet representative of a oncepopular type of design for armory buildings in the state.
Although designed by Robert Stacy-Judd, a distinguished architect, the architect's prominence is not noted in the NRHP nomination. In 2012, the local community planned various historically sensitive renovations and fundraising to support the work.
