The vibe

Named for the historic Chester Street landmark at its center, the Armoury District offers a quiet, welcoming window into St. Thomas’ residential growth. The legacy of the city’s early street railway lives on through the unique layout of Wilson Avenue—originally designed as a direct route bringing residents right into the heart of downtown. Whether you’re passing through or pausing to explore, this neighbourhood offers a charming blend of history and relaxed living.


Here is a side angle of the St. Thomas Armoury.  The building is made of red brick with two rows of windows. In the front corners are large round towers. In the front of the middle is a staircase up to the second floor.
