Bolton Hall in the former Village of Lansingburgh served as the State Armory after the one in Troy burned in 1917. The Hall continued to serve as the Armory until 1922 when a newly-built one was ready to be occupied. In the 1840s the Olympic Saloon in the Village had served a similar purpose for a local military company, the Lansingburgh Artillery.
