| Description of Significance |
THE EUFAULA ARMORY EXEMPLIFIED THE AIMS OF THE WORKS PROGRESS ADMINISTRATION WITHIN MCINTOSH COUNTY. THE CASTELLATED STYLE, SHOWING AN ART DECO INFLUENCE, AND USE OF NATIVE STONE ADAPTED FOR UNSKILLED LABOR MAKE THE ARMORY AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF WPA ARCHITECTURE IN OKLAHOMA. THE ARMORY IS A SINGLE-STORY RECTANGULAR BUILDING BUILT BETWEEN 1935 AND 1937. IT CONSISTS OF TWO MAIN SECTIONS: A BARREL-ROOFED DRILL HALL AND A FLAT-ROOFED ADMINISTRATIVE AREA. THE WALLS ARE CONSTRUCTED OF RANDOMLY-LAID, RUSTICATED SANDSTONE BLOCKS. LISTED IN NATIONAL REGISTER - 5/20/94. |
