The Armory is a historic event venue located along the St. Joseph River in South Bend's market district. The building dates to 1928, when it served as a munitions storage facility and National Guard Armory with an attached shooting range. Later converted into the Newman Recreation Center, the space has since been transformed into a full-service event venue that preserves its original architectural character throughout. The renovation kept iron-barred doors from the weapons storage era, exposed timber trusses and vaulted ceilings, concrete walls reinforced with brick, and the original hardwood basketball floor — now the ballroom's dance floor. The bar was crafted from wood salvaged from the recreation center's bleachers. Period chandeliers hang alongside the restored structure, balancing the industrial bones with a warmer finish. The Armory accommodates up to 500 guests and includes a sophisticated ballroom, a full-service bar, a commercial kitchen, a bridal dressing suite, wireless internet, and on-site parking.
