The Chestertown Armory is a historic National Guard armory built in 1931 and located in Chestertown, Kent County, Maryland, United States. It is a two-story brick structure with a full basement that emulates a medieval fortification. The front facade features an entryway flanked by simple two-story towers, which are topped by small square stone panels. The Armory hall is used for dances and cotillions, local hospital benefits, and other social functions, and the Friends of the Library hold annual trade shows there.[2]
The Chestertown Armory was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
