The Holdenville Armory, at US 270 and N. Butts St. in Holdenville, Oklahoma, was built in 1936. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1936.

Its construction was a Works Progress Administration-funded project. It is a red brick one-story {{convert|100x198|ft|m}} building with "allusion" to Art Deco style.{{cite web|url={{NRHP url|id=88001386}}|title=National Register of Historic Places Inventory/Nomination: Holdenville Armory |publisher=National Park Service|author= |date= |accessdate=June 22, 2018}} With {{NRHP url|id=88001386|photos=y|title=accompanying four photos from 1984}}

Its nomination states:

As a WPA building, the armory is exceptional for its use of brick construction materials and decorative pilasters. Architecturally it is unique within the Holdenville community in terms of type, allusion to art deco style, scale and character of workmanship. Construction of the armory provided job opportunities for destitute oil field workers at a time when there were few within the region. It is also significant that the building itself contributed to the military preparedness of a National Guard unit that distinguished itself during the course of World War II.
