Description
This WPA armory was constructed by the WPA in 1936-37:
“The Muskogee armory is a huge two-story, essentially rectangular shaped (260′ x 160) building of cut, coursed, and rusticated native stone of buff colors. The masonry is of exceptional quality… Architecturally, the armory is unique as a WPA structure for its massive size, quality of workmanship, and its vernacular style.” (wpa3muskogee.pdf)
The building is now in use as the Muskogee Teen Center.
