Description

Photograph of the armory, Exposition Park, ca. 1930. This image appears to have been taken from the side; both the front of the building and its side are visible. It is a large two-story building with numerous windows and a flag raised above its main entrance. The view of the armory's side resembles a pentagon flanked by two rectangles on either side and features a door in the center and what appears to be a ramp leading away from it. In the middle, a road that runs in front of the building can be seen. Sidewalks can be seen on both sides of the street as well as two lamp posts and a few small trees. In the extreme foreground, at the top, leaves and branches can also be seen.
