University of Minnesota Armory
University of Minnesota Armory, Military training building on Church Street, Minneapolis, United States.
The sandstone Romanesque-style Armory rises three stories high with fortress-like details, arched windows, and a central tower at the University of Minnesota campus.
Built in 1896 after a fire destroyed the previous military training facility, the Armory served as a basketball venue for Minnesota Golden Gophers until 1925.
The Armory houses a significant memorial statue called Iron Mike, dedicated to University students who served in the Spanish-American War of 1898.
The building contains classrooms and offices for three ROTC units, with accessibility limited to the ground floor through a ramped entrance on the south side.
The Little Brown Jug, a notable college football trophy, was forgotten in the Armory locker rooms by Michigan coach Fielding Yost in 1903.
