History & local legend
Scottdale Armory, at North Broadway Street and Edwin Avenue, was built in 1929 to a design by architect Joseph F. Kuntz. The National Guard building is associated with a figure known locally as the Old General, said to walk its drill floor.
The account collected by The Shadowlands describes lockers opening or slamming shut, flickering lights, and locked doors opening unexpectedly. Security alarms reportedly sounded even when the cameras showed no one in the building.
