    For the many of you who have never been inside the Armory, it is a very odd building. There is an enormous drill hall at the front, and a very odd labyrinth of several stories of rooms in the back. Although the place has been ransacked... the 1930s WPA artwork still survives [[at least it did). Some very fine wood carved walls and staircases, and a series of 1930s Naval murals [[must have been where "don't ask, don't tell" originated).

    This building is much larger on the inside than it appears on the outside.

    Sadly, many of the fine wood bits are long gone:
