Jackson Sentinel, August 8, 1932 



FORMER ARMORY RAZED 



George McDonald, the buyer and wrecker of buildings, has a crew of men tearing 
down the old armory on North Niagara Street in Maquoketa, which has stood the 
tests of time since the early 1880's. This landmark was built by the late 
George T. Bradley and for a number of years was used as a roller skating rink 
during the time when roller skating was very popular. 



It was subsequently used as a carriage repository and later as an armory by 
Company M, 49th Iowa Infantry, Iowa National Guard. The past few years the 
building has been used by the Doran Motor Company as a storeroom for used cars 
and as temporary housing for new Ford cars. Mr. McDonald tells us that he will 
reduce the structure to lumber and remove it to his lumber yards on North Main 
Street.
