The Second Battery Armory is located in the Morrisania section of the Bronx, New York City. Completed in 1911, it was designed by architect Charles C. Haight. A vertical addition was completed in the 1920s. The building served as an armory for the Second Battery and other units of the New York State National Guard. It is now a shelter for homeless women.

Second Battery Armory, Designation Report, NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission, 2 June 1992.
"The exterior design of the armory is a picturesque, asymmetrical composition which takes the maximum benefit of its prominent location on a sloping hill, through its use of a corner tower, bold massing, and expressive brick forms. While Haight's design kept several references to the tradition of medieval imagery in armories, such as the crenellated parapet and corbelled balcony, his use here of a restrained Gothic vocabulary is related more to the Collegiate Gothic style of his educational institutions." (Haight's educational institution designs included buildings at the General Theological Seminary in Manhattan and at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.
