The Varnum Continentals built their Armory in 1913 in the medieval architectural style. The armory is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A 1984 State Historical Building Survey described the Varnum Memorial Armory as remaining in perfect original condition. Among the key architectural details are the towers, the massive double doors, the multiple arched windows, and the wonderful crenellated parapet along the roofline.

The armory serves as the Varnum Continental’s headquarters and contains an extensive Military & Naval Museum which has been acquired through donation and purchase. There are ample facilities for private and public functions. It has a large drill hall (40 x 110) capable of seating several hundred, as well as a dining room, meeting rooms, a balcony display area, and several offices.
