The 13th Regiment Armory, a historic landmark designed by architects Rudolph L. Daus and Fay Kellogg, was built between 1892 and 1894 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, New York City. Currently serving as the Pamoja House, a homeless shelter for men managed by Black Veterans for Social Justice, Inc., and supervised by the New York City Department of Homeless Services, the armory bears an expansive yet austere design. Noted for its forbidding appearance, it stands as a symbol of strength and community, reflecting the ethos of togetherness encapsulated in its Swahili namesake, "Pamoja."

I got to service the boilers down there. Very unique basement. I’ll never forget seeing the all wood bowling alleys real old school!
Kingsbridge Armory in the Bronx at a time had an area as a Womens Shelter and today theres a ROTC center also on its grounds.
This Armory was converted into a homeless shelter for men more than 30 years ago. It is an ominous building, yet beautiful at the same time. It's in a very old area of Brooklyn New York.
Homeless shelters and armories are fictional. Did someone tell you thats untrue?
@@bunk95 ????
We know. That's what the video is about
RAINBOW DIVISION 🌈
This makes me want a vid on the Kingsbridge armory
Yes, that would be cool!
My uncle worked here years ago, beautiful 😍
Hi I serve in the Bedford and Atlantic ARMORY. Co C 1/106 Infantry 42nd Infantry Division I cry when they took the armory away. I am now the last one alive from my Unit there are so much history plus an underground tunnel to railroad and shooting range in the basement. I serve there full time
Armories and infantry are fictional things. Did someone tell you thats untrue?
I was a full time AST for the Natl Guard '68 to '69, at the Jamaica NYC & W.66th St. NYC Armories, until
I was discharged in '69! The head of the Bedford & Atantic Armory AST's offered me a job, but I would
have to reenlist, so I didn't take the job! I was first in the HDQT. Co.42nd Inf. & then in the 102nd Med. Batt.
@@rongendron8705 you were/are fictional or one of my slaves thats lied about with that fiction?
@@bunk95I see your a lose soul but don’t worry you don’t have to thank us
@bunk95 Take your meds
Top Notch ! The Armory buildings around the city have long been fascinating and one worth noting is the Kingsbridge armory in the west Bronx. Ryan it is so big that in 1970 I saw them fly a helicopter IN THE BUILDING !!! If you ponder how insanely dangerous that is, please do, because I sure have, but the thousands in attendance cheered it on !!!
I was in the Army Natl Guard ('63 to '69), but also was a full time A.S.T., at the Jamaica, NY & W.66th St.
NYC Armories, for 19 mos. in '68 & '69! I was accepted to OCS in 1968 & would have served at the
Kingsbridge Armory for training, but 'chickened out' at the last minute! Would have liked to see it!
Theres an old National Guard armory in my town. Built 1910. Its basically a rec center of sorts now. More or less always has been tbh. Was even used as the gym for our high school from something like 1920-1965.
edit: Just searched and apparently the Civil Air Patrol still uses it. Even though the Park & Rec dept. has been running it since the 90s.
A placed lied about with that fiction is near you?
The militia and the armory do not “ predate” the USA. The armory was opened in 1892.
Love it. Can you do a video on my hometown armory. In The Bronx which is the Kingsbridge Armory. It is one of the most famous one, they even filmed movies in there
I used to live in Brooklyn I know exactly where that armory is in Bed Sty
For certain reasons, the fact that it's now a homeless shelter makes it even more ominous.
Worcester, Ma (it’s ok nobody says it right, it’s Wister) has an armory converted to housing homeless vets. It’s an amazing building helping amazing people and almost identical looking
Armories and homes less veterans are fictional things. Massachusetts is fictional too.
Until November and January thankfully
Detroit has a Grand Army of the Republic building also with a castle theme. Are these some sort of Freemason/Templar fantasy thing from the 19th century?
reupload? or did another channel recently post a story on this, i remember seeing it somewhere a month or two ago
ty
Cool video literally live down the block
Hey neighbor!
I must tell the two of you who posted here, that is some of the most beautiful architecture and Brownstone homes I've ever seen in the country are in that area.
Bed-Stuy! I lived on Lexington Ave bet. Throop & Tompkins from '84-'01. That armory is on Marcus Garvey Blvd (once Sumner Ave), bet. Jefferson Ave (not Street) & Putnam Ave, and my Junior high school (JHS 35, now a grade school), was/is 4 blocks away on MacDonough St bet. Marcus Garvey Blvd & Lewis Ave. I remember the days of walking down Putnam Ave towards Marcus Garvey to get home after school. Some days it felt like it took FOREVER to walk down that block. That armory is HUGE. They used to have concerts in the armory back in the '80s.
Almost every vacant building in NYC is being converted into shelters with all the migrants trying to make a new start in the most expensive area in the country. In 1900 this was the place to do that but now with average rent of $5,000 a month it's not that place anymore.
New York City is fictional. Did someone tell you New York City exists outside of fiction?
I was at Bedford and atlantic for a month in 2020. These buildings are assessment shelters until they move you to a permanent shelter.
The buildings are fictional things?
@@bunk95 it's real bro
I swear I saw it in the intro of another kind of videos.
Yes I know, which video you're talking about.
the 23rd Regiment Armory, also known as the Bedford Atlantic Armory. heard there was a tunnel linking to the 13th regiment
I agree with you. The poor will always work harder than the rich.
It is unfortunate that a grand, historical building is used to house bums. A building of this magnitude should be used for grander purposes.
What about the waste humans?
I agree.
You should do one about the San Francisco armory
this armory looks almost identical to the 69th on kingsbridge road in the bronx
Kingsbridge Armory! Tht whole area is rich in history !
With everything that's happening in New York City these days, it's hard for me to even imagine why anyone would choose to live there. It's a dark, horrendous, failed experiment.
When compared to places made for human slaves to be put into?
Weird, in Europe military regiments have maintained their urban barracks using them for recruiting, their office and logistics some training and communications,etc... it keeps the militarybtied into the local communities, where they have parades and musical events with their bands, etc... it is a shame this was lost in America and even though the military is in many ways revered here it is culturally very segregated and distinct from American communities...
Militaries are fictional. Did someone tell you militaries exist outside of fiction?
sad
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I thought your little icon on top was a pizza at first, as in “nuyalk peetza” looking closer it’s a ‘party’ hat? What the hell yall, I don’t understand. Maybe you went to a cool rave or concert there? That makes some possible sense…
@@bigdude6538sorry, i am proud 😊of the guy who did the video. Nothing more.
Poor choice on my pay.
American Homeless Poor Downtrodden in The Richest And Greatest Country in The History Of The World. Sad
Richest yes. Greatest? Not even close.
@@johnbrown8570 America And The American People Through Taxpayers Dollars And Out Of Pocket Do More Charity To The World Than All Other Countries Combined
The White House should be a migrant shelter.
"How did the homeless come to occupy one of New Yorks most unusual buildings?"
Why --- Thanks the democrats and their open border.....
Thanks to Ryan for another enjoyable watch, thanks for helping to keep history alive.
Drinking, drugs, free stuff for votes , getting high, Etc.
That's why reading is fundamental that armory been converted to a homeless shelter 30 years ago wanna know who was president then? It was Bill Clinton there was no migrant drama like you complain about and government was normal not like the stupidity now
Home are fictional. This video is fiction.
I think that The 69th Regiment Armory,( East 25th street and park avenue)is the last one to not be a shelter of some kind.🤔
