The First Corps of Cadets Armory (the “Castle”) was constructed in the late nineteenth century as a fortress to provide control over civil disturbances in the City of Boston. The Smith & Wollensky project included the respectful adaptive re-use and preservation of the great rooms of the “head house” portion of the building, which occupies 6 floors. Each floor has its own identity and incorporates many beautiful architectural details, including carved wooden mantles, stairways, ornamental lighting fixtures, wrought iron railings and built-in cabinetry.
