Hunt Armory is an auditorium located in Pittsburgh. It occupies an entire city block covering an area of convert|56000|sqft|m2, bordering the Pittsburgh neighborhoods of East Liberty and Shadyside. Until the Pittsburgh Civic Arena was built in 1961, the Hunt Armory was the largest auditorium in Pittsburgh and was used frequently for concerts and political events, including a re-election speech given by President Harry S. Truman in 1948 and a campaign speech by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956.
