Halifax Armoury, Military drill hall in Halifax, Canada
The red sandstone building features a central arched entrance beneath a large round window, with corner towers and multiple arched windows on the facade.
The structure, completed in 1899, served as a training facility for military units and provided shelter during the Halifax Explosion of 1917.
The building maintains continuous connections with the Princess Louise Fusiliers, a militia unit established in 1869 that participated in major Canadian conflicts.
The facility contains an indoor shooting gallery, lecture rooms, libraries, and recreational spaces including billiard rooms and bowling alleys for military personnel.
The Halifax Armoury introduced triangular steel Fink trusses in Canadian military architecture, creating one of the largest column-free interior spaces in the country.
