Bay Street Armoury, Military drill hall and national historic site in Victoria, Canada
The Bay Street Armoury features a medieval fortress design with brick, steel, and concrete construction, incorporating an octagonal tower and crenellated parapets.
Built between 1914 and 1915, the armoury emerged during a nationwide construction campaign that established over 100 drill halls across Canada before World War I.
The 5th Artillery Regiment Museum within the armoury displays military artifacts, including field artillery, uniforms, band instruments, medals, weapons, and historical photographs.
Multiple military units occupy the facility, including the 89th Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron and the Canadian Scottish Regiment Princess Mary's.
The structure contains a large central drill area, weapons storage, firing ranges, educational facilities, and mess halls within its two-story layout.
