The
Clermont Armory is a new residential development built on the site of
one of the oldest armories in New York City. This 110 unit rental building is located at 171 Clermont
Avenue in Fort Greene, one of the trendiest brownstone neighborhoods near
downtown Brooklyn. Built in two wings behind the facade of the original
armory, the apartments face an elevated courtyard. Three of the wrought
iron trusses that spanned the original drill hall (built in 1873), were
retained in the courtyard, exposed to the sky, in an attempt to capture
some of the character of the original Clermont Armory.
