The Enid Armory, a two-story Art Deco building constructed in 1936 as a Works Progress Administration project in Enid, Oklahoma, was the third largest armory in the state and the only WPA-built armory in Oklahoma to employ red brick in its construction. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1988, it served as a training facility for Oklahoma National Guard soldiers during World War II and the Korean War. The building was demolished in the mid-2000s following the 2005 BRAC Commission decision to close state armories and establish Armed Forces Reserve Centers, with the site subsequently redeveloped for Garfield Elementary School after remediation of hazardous materials by the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality.
