Kingfisher Armory - Kingfisher, OK - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

The Kingfisher Armory is a two-story red brick building, with cast concrete decorative accents on the window sills, and on the brick pilasters flanking the entrances and at the building corners. Cast concrete is also used to form arches over the pedestrian and vehicle entrances. There are four overhead vehicle doors on the west-facing facade and one on the south. The windows throughout are tall, narrow one-over-one. The pedestrian entrances are located in slightly projecting bays, with stepped parapets at the roof line. The building was a WPA project in 1936.

The building is rectangular, with two distinct sections. The east or rear section has a barrel roof and enclosed the drill floor. The west half has a flat roof and contained the offices, supply area and garages. In 1991, all doors were updated from wood to metal.

The armory appears to be vacant, although there is a sign over the main entrance "Crescent Hill" that appears a church meets here on occasion. The armory was placed on the National Register in 1994.
