Signal Corps instructor teaching Civil Air Patrol members, Seattle, July 1944
Order an ImageThe Seattle Field Artillery Armory was designed in 1939 by architect and engineer Arrigo M. Young (1884-1954) to house the 146th Field Artillery and its half-ton tanks. During World War II, the armory was remodeled to provide 500 beds for servicemen visiting Seattle. In addition, the Women's Ambulance Corps and civilian medical units trained there during the war, and the Civilian Protection unit had its headquarters in the building. In 1962 the armory building was converted for use at the Century 21 Seattle World's Fair, and as of 2018, remains an integral part of Seattle Center on the former fairgrounds.
