The Olean Armory is tucked in behind Main Street business' in historic downtown Olean. The armory is still used and therefore is not open to the public. The armory gives the feel of the time period it was originally used in. Despite the modern fencing and signs, the old brick structure and iron bars on the thin windows gives the feel of security for this fortress from the past.
