The Holdenville Armory, at US 270 and N. Butts St. in Holdenville, Oklahoma, was built in 1936. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1936. [1]
Its construction was a Works Progress Administration-funded project. It is a red brick one-story 100 by 198 feet (30 m × 60 m) building with "allusion" to Art Deco style. [2]
Its nomination states:
As a WPA building, the armory is exceptional for its use of brick construction materials and decorative pilasters. Architecturally it is unique within the Holdenville community in terms of type, allusion to art deco style, scale and character of workmanship. Construction of the armory provided job opportunities for destitute oil field workers at a time when there were few within the region. It is also significant that the building itself contributed to the military preparedness of a National Guard unit that distinguished itself during the course of World War II. [2]

It is constructed of brick and sits on a concrete foundation. It measures approximately 56 feet by 128 feet. Since class warfare was no longer a concern, the function of the armory took a new turn, and armories were often used as community centers and for public gatherings. No longer were these facilities built to look intimidating; they were now designed in styles that were not visually associated with defense. Armories designed in the Art Deco and Moderne styles were now in vogue, mostly funded by the WPA to create jobs for both skilled and unskilled laborers during the Depression.
