Mewata Armouries, Military heritage building in downtown Calgary, Canada
The Mewata Armoury features red brick walls with stone trim, four corner towers, and crenellated walls centered around a large drill hall.
Constructed between 1917 and 1918, this military facility became a central training location during World War II and continues to serve reserve forces.
The name derives from the Cree word miyawâtam, reflecting the indigenous heritage of the region through its meaning of joyfulness.
Located at 801 11th Street SW, the building houses The King's Own Calgary Regiment, The Calgary Highlanders, and multiple cadet organizations.
The structure required a local brick manufacturing operation specifically established to complete its construction when initial supplies were delayed.
