Built during the period 1935 to 1937, this is a one-story building constructed of native sandstone. It is currently used by the City of Okemah as their public works barn. It is located at 405 N. 6th Street.
The west portion of the armory has a high barrel roof and contains the drill floor. It has one overhead door facing south. The east section has a flat roof with two overhead doors on the south, and an office wing along the east-facing facade. At the corners of the sections are taller, rock parapets. The windows are multi-paned fixed units. The armory was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
