Originally built as Durham’s National Guard unit headquarters, this building also served as the original Civic Center from the late 1950s to 1989.
Fun fact about The Armory – it's the site of a gathering that the artist Ernie Barnes, who grew up in Durham, secretly spied on before he was of age to attend. This scene inspired the famous "The Sugar Shack" painting from 1976.
