69th Regiment Armory
New York, NY
The Project
The 69th Regiment Armory, located at 68 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York is a historical building completed in 1906, and still houses the National Guard’s “Fighting Sixth-Ninth”. The building, which was declared a Historic National Landmark in 1965, extends the full length the block along Lexington Avenue, and features a brick façade with a limestone trim, and a sculptured winged eagle forming the keystone of the Armory’s entry arch.
Today serving as a training center for the 69th Regiment, the 31,000-square-foot Armory was host to a number of New York Knicks home games from 1946 to 1960. The Armory’s Museum pays tribute to the Regiment’s infantry men of yesteryear, re-telling the traditions and symbols of an Irish heritage unit known for its continuous length of service.
LED*Waves' Involvement
LED*Waves, working closely with designer Pete St. John, provided the Armory Museum with LED Alpha Flex II Track Lighting kits, LED dimming modules, and Athens MR-16 LED light bulbs. Pete St. John used noble, metallic styling for the patriotic display cabinets to sheath the Fighting Sixty-Ninth’s lineage in bright, battle-winning beams.
Whether illuminating a crisp, authentic uniform or a wall of triumphs by valiant Regiment heroes, the Museum’s glass displays are now protected from darkness by victorious and efficient track lights from LED*Waves!
