Fifth Regiment Armory is a historic
National Guard armory located at
Baltimore,
Maryland,
United States. It is an imposing, fortress-type structure situated in midtown Baltimore. It consists of a full basement, a first floor containing a 200 foot by 300 foot
drill hall, a mezzanine or "balcony" level, and a newer second level (reconstructed in 1933 after a fire) housing the trussed steel drill hall roof. The façade features
buttresses,
parapets, casement windows, and a crenellated roofline, giving the appearance of a medieval fortification. It was the site of the
1912 Democratic National Convention.
