Seaforth Armoury, Military building in Vancouver, Canada
The Seaforth Armoury stands at 1650 Burrard Street with a central troop door entrance and medieval-influenced concrete structure featuring crenellated roofs.
The facility opened in 1936 under the Public Works Construction Act of 1934, providing employment opportunities during the Great Depression period.
The structure incorporates Scottish military heritage through architectural elements including cast iron thistle finials and heraldic plaques near the entrance.
The building houses training facilities, meeting spaces, and parade grounds for reserve units, plus the Seaforth Museum and two cadet organizations.
Steel roof trusses support the central drill hall, marking early usage of reinforced concrete technology in Canadian military architecture.
