About Armoury

Armoury is the one Recognized Federal Heritage Building in Matane. Armoury went up in 1913–1914. One other place on the registers stands within 400 m.

The Armoury is prominently located in the core of the business district in Matane Québec. It is a two-storey, red brick building with a green-painted, metal clad hipped roof, and a projecting four-storey corner tower with an arched entrance. The designation is confined to the footprint of the building.
