According to its NRHP nomination, the building's significance rests on two factors:
The Old Armory brought together diverse sectors of the public in its creation and subsequent use: local government, military, private business, and the general townspeople. In architectural character it is uncommon, yet representative of a once popular type of design for armory buildings in the state.[2]
Although designed by Robert Stacy-Judd, a distinguished architect, his prominence is not noted in the NRHP nomination. In 2012, the local community planned various historically sensitive renovations and fundraising to support the work.[3]
