THE ARMORY SPACE
Unveiling an Unique
Historic Building in the Heart of Jacksonville
Erected more than a century ago, the Armory once stood as Jacksonville's principal hub for social gatherings and entertainment, while concurrently fulfilling its role as a military reserve force facility.
The venue, featuring a spacious drill hall/auditorium complete with a stage and balcony, has witnessed a diverse array of events throughout its rich history. Notable moments include a powerful speech delivered by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt in 1936, a captivating performance by Duke Ellington and his band in the 1950s, and an unforgettable concert by Ray Charles in the early 1960s. In 1969, the Allman Brothers Band played their first gig at the Jacksonville armory, adding another chapter to the venue's storied past. In 1970, just months before her untimely death, Janis Joplin electrified the venue, drawing a packed house for a memorable concert that remains etched in its history.
