Connaught Armoury, Provincial historic drill hall in Edmonton, Canada

The Connaught Armoury features fortress-like architecture with brick and sandstone construction, stylized crenellations, heavy masonry walls, and a formal entry porch.

Built in 1911 at a cost of 35,000 dollars, this rectangular brick building served as headquarters for B Squadron of the 19th Alberta Dragoons cavalry unit.

Named after Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn, the third son of Queen Victoria who served as Canada's Governor-General from 1911 to 1916.

Located at 10310 85 Avenue in Edmonton, the building now functions as a drop-in centre for Youth Empowerment & Support Services after military operations ceased.

The oldest armoury in Alberta remained vacant for 14 years after military use before housing various establishments, including unsuccessful restaurant ventures.
