Daughters of the American Revolution monument (1910) at the White Plains Armory (1902), 35 South Broadway. 
The monument marks the birth of the State of New York. In July 1776 the Declaration of Independence was read
to the Provincial Assembly of the state, which was meeting at the Westchester County Court House. 
The Armory, built on the site of the old court house, is listed in the National Register of 
Historic Places, 1980. The upper part of the monument's base is built of stones from the court house.
