The 23rd Regiment Armory is a historic National Guard armory building located at 1322 Bedford Avenue between Atlantic Avenue and Pacific Street in the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City. It was built in 1891-95 and was designed in the Romanesque Revival style by Fowler & Hough, local Brooklyn architects, and Isaac Perry, the architect for New York State, which financed the construction.[2][3]

The building is a brick and stone castle-like structure designed to be reminiscent of medieval military structures in Europe. It consists of a three-story administration building with an attached drill shed. It is constructed of deep red pressed brick, brownish red Potsdam stone, and red terra cotta detail. It features a series of circular corner towers, the tallest of which is 136 feet in height.[4]

In 1923, the building was rented by William Randolph Hearst for use as studio space for his Cosmopolitan Productions after the company's own facilities were destroyed by a fire on February 19, 1923.[5][6]

The building was designated a New York City landmark in 1977,[2] and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1] Currently, the building is used as a men's homeless shelter under New York City's Department of Homeless Services.
