Armory Round
The Seattle Field Artillery Armory, built in 1939, has stood the test of time, evolving over many years as a community gathering place and affordable family destination. Construction on this military reserve headquarters began in 1938. The buildings dedication ceremony provided a moment of great civic pride as thousands paraded through downtown Seattle. Over many years, the Armory has housed boat shows and big bands, infamous trials and the functions of military life. Named the Food Circus for the 1962 World’s Fair, and later called Center House, this newly renovated food and entertainment venue once again takes pride of place at the center of the Center.
