Arsenal Stadium, Football stadium in United Kingdom
Arsenal Stadium, also known as Highbury, was a football ground in North London that served as the home venue for Arsenal Football Club. The ground featured distinctive Art Deco stands on the east and west sides and accommodated tens of thousands of supporters.
The ground was built in 1913 and became one of England's most important football venues. Major renovation work in the 1930s created the distinctive Art Deco design that defined its appearance.
The marble-floored halls became a gathering place where supporters experienced decades of football history together. Fans from across the city identified with the club through the memories they made within these walls.
The site is no longer accessible as a working stadium, as the grounds were converted into residential apartments. Visitors can still observe the architectural transformation and see how the original structure was adapted into modern housing.
Architect Archibald Leitch designed the ground with elaborate detailing, and the marble corridors reflected his craftsmanship. This level of opulence in a sports venue was unusual for the time and made it legendary among football supporters.
