Armory
A place for storing weapons and armour . Sometimes this can mean a royal storehouse, as in the Royal Armouries in the Tower of London or in Gratz , Austria, or more generally any storehouse in a castle or stronghold. It can also mean a workshop in which arms are made or repaired, and lastly, the correct term for all things relating to a herald . In modern usage armories repair and build firearms.
