The San Francisco Armory, also known as the San Francisco National Guard Armory and Arsenal or simply The Armory, is a historic building in the Mission District of San Francisco, California.
==National Guard Armory==
The building was constructed as an armory and arsenal for the United States National Guard in 1912–1914 and designed with a castle-like appearance in a Moorish Revival style. The Armory was built on part of the site of Woodward's Gardens (1866–1891), a zoo, aquarium, art museum, and amusement park which covered two city blocks, bounded by Mission, Valencia, 13th, and 15th Streets.〔("Kink.com buys SF Armory" ), ''Bay City News'', January 9, 2007.〕〔("Then: Old Armory; Now: Porn Studio ) by Jonathan Farrell, ''Mission Dispatch'', February 15, 2007.〕 The structure was built as a replacement for the old San Francisco Armory in the Western Addition, which had been destroyed by the 1906 earthquake.〔("Cursed Armory Has Hexed Developers for Over Twenty Years" ) by Carol Lloyd, ''SFGate.com'', October 3, 2000.〕 In addition to its role as an armory and arsenal, during the 1920s, it served as a venue for sporting events, such as prizefights.〔("S.F.

The Armory served as a stronghold and rallying point for the National Guard in their suppression of the 1934 San Francisco General Strike (an event known as "Bloody Thursday").〔("3 Killed, 31 Shot in Widespread Rioting" ), ''San Francisco Daily News'', July 5, 1934. (Archived at the Virtual Museum of San Francisco)〕〔("Welcome to S.F. Armory.com" ), ''SFArmory.com'', 2007.〕 The building closed as an armory in 1976, when the National Guard moved its facilities to Fort Funston.〔
