[WATCH] Brooklyn's Forbidden Armory | 13th Regiment Explained

The 13th Regiment Armory, a historic landmark designed by architects Rudolph L. Daus and Fay Kellogg, was built between 1892 and 1894 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, New York City. Currently serving as the Pamoja House, a homeless shelter for men managed by Black Veterans for Social Justice, Inc., and supervised by the New York City Department of Homeless Services, the armory bears an expansive yet austere design. Noted for its forbidding appearance, it stands as a symbol of strength and community, reflecting the ethos of togetherness encapsulated in its Swahili namesake, "Pamoja."
