The
Naval Reserve Armory in the
South Lake Union neighborhood of
Seattle, Washington "is a massive concrete building exhibiting restrained
Moderne and
Art Deco features". It was built by the
Works Progress Administration in 1941–1942, and "served as an Advanced Naval Training School" during
World War II. The main interior feature is a 133 x
drill hall which was used in
Naval Reserve training of thousands of young recruits for service in the war. It is significant for its association with mass mobilization during the World War, for association with Depression-era work relief, and more.
