The Armory San Francisco

1800 Mission St, San Francisco, CA 94103
This 200,000 square foot reproduction Moorish Castle was completed in 1914 and was used as a National Guard facility until 1976. It retains original period details including wainscoting, stone staircases, sweeping corridors, cavernous access to Mission Creek, and a gigantic drill court spanning almost an acre. It served as both a barricade and safety point for officers during rioting in San Francisco in 1934. Though for most of the past 40 years, it has sat vacant, it was used by George Lucas to film the first Star Wars movie.
The Armory was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 and has been out of official use since this time.
Armory Studios has leased the drill court portion of the Armory building to The Armory Events Center for the purpose creating a thriving community center for business, educational, sporting, religious, family, entertainment and other community uses and events.
