San Francisco Armory, Military armory in Mission District, San Francisco, US.

The San Francisco Armory spans 10 acres with a 40,000-square-foot drill court and features distinct Moorish Revival architecture with castle-like details.

The California National Guard constructed this fortress in 1912 to replace the previous armory destroyed by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.

During the 1920s through 1940s, the venue earned recognition as the Madison Square Garden of the West, hosting major boxing matches.

Located at 1800 Mission Street, the armory functions as an event space accommodating up to 4,000 people for concerts, sports, and corporate gatherings.

The structure contains the largest lighting supergrid system installed west of the Mississippi River, enhancing its capabilities for modern productions.
