List of Armouries in Canada


A number of armouries and drill halls exist in communities across Canada. Of these, the majority were built in Ontario.

The Chief Dominion Architect(s) designed a number of prominent public buildings in Canada including armouries, drill halls, post offices, and Dominion Public Buildings : Thomas Seaton Scott (1871–1881); Thomas Fuller (1881–1897); David Ewart (1897–1914); Edgar Lewis Horwood (1914–1918); Richard Cotsman Wright (1918–1927); Thomas W. Fuller (1927–1936), Charles D. Sutherland (1936–1947); Joseph Charles Gustave Brault (1947–1952)

Thomas Seaton Scott, Thomas Fuller and Thomas W. Fuller adopted the Dominion Style Neo-Gothic style. David Ewart embraced the Baronial style. The armouries may display Gothic Revival (1740s+), Tudorbethan (1835–1885+), Romanesque Revival (1840–1930); Colonial Revival (1890s+); Châteauesque (1887–1930) or Edwardian Baroque 1901-1922 style.

Drawings for virtually all armoury and drill hall buildings designed by The Chief Dominion Architect and his staff during his tenure as Chief Architect of the Department of Public Works are now held at the National Archives of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario.
