In 1905, an armory designed by New York State Architect George L. Heins was built in the city of Oneonta in Otsego County, New York for use of the New York State National Guard. The armory was home to Oneonta’s Company G, 1st Regiment of the New York State National Guard. It was designed and constructed to include administrative spaces, as well as space for drills and recreation. Over the years, it also hosted community events, such as local dances and meetings of various community organizations. In 1995, the Oneonta Armory was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

In 2003, the city acquired the armory, during a time in which New York State was closing and selling other such armories across the state. As of 2024, the Oneonta Armory serves as the Asa C. Allison Jr. Municipal Building and is used for recreational and teen programming in the city.
