Anyone have any old photos of the Armory? I'm helping Arts at the Armory with their collection of photos of the Armory (beyond the usual postcard image) Photos of events or activities that took place on the grounds or inside the building are especially sought; they have plenty of the old postcards of the facade.

Apart from its long military history, the Armory was used for RMV driving tests, bingo games, Somerville's Centennial Ball in 1972, Democratic political rallies in the 1970s, a shelter during the blizzard of 1978, large celebrations, and other activities.

If you have such photos, and can spare them briefly (to be scanned) please contact me at fefie at operamail dot com.

Thanks.

You may also want to ask for photos of the public school that used to be where the Armory's parking lot is today. I think it was called the Proctor, and burned down in the mid 1970s?
