The City paid $38,972, the State paid $8,003, and the Federal Government paid $ 71,835. The original Armory building was constructed in 1938 at a cost of $118,810. Also, in the words of Fred Boeckmann, City Counselor, in 1989, “It is my opinion that if the State ceases to use the property as an Armory, the City, under its easement, can make whatever use it chooses of the property.” The Warranty Deed stated that it was “…understood and agreed that the City of Columbia, the party of the first part, and the Board of Education of the City of Columbia and the various civic and service clubs of said City, with the permission of said City of Columbia, shall have perpetual easement in the use of the buildings and premises and/or any buildings to be constructed on the within premises so long as such does not conflict with the use and benefit of the Missouri National Guard as an Armory.” In layman’s terms, this meant that the City could still use the building as long as that usage didn’t interfere with the National Guard’s business. The land where the Armory Building now stands was transferred to the State of Missouri in September of 1938 by the City of Columbia for the express purpose of use as a National Guard Armory.
