Armory Square |
Designed
by Horatio White, this was one of the most prestigious office blocks in
Syracuse for several decades. Originally the building was crowned with
a mansard roof, but this was altered in the early 1890s. The window
treatment still echoes the Second Empire style. The Larned Building
was named for Capt. Samuel Larned who ran a boat line on the Erie
Canal. He bought the site in 1830 and built a hotel which was
eventually destroyed by fire. His sons built the present structure.
