Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox NRHP The Idabel Armory in Idabel, Oklahoma was built in 1936 as a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project.[1] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]

It is a single-story building built of sandstone. Its main portion is Шаблон:Convert and it has two Шаблон:Convert wings.[2]

Its NRHP nomination notes:

As a WPA building, the armory is notable primarily for its scale. That quality makes the structure significant within the community of Idabel, but more important is its type, materials of construction and character of workmanship. Equally significant is that the building itself contributed to a state of military preparedness which enabled the Oklahoma National Guard to contribute to the allied victory during World War II. Among other things, it contains an in-door rifle range. Construction of the armory likewise provided jobs for destitute workers at a point in the depression of the 1930s when there were none in the private sector, resulting in some economic security and greater self-esteem.[2]
