A LOOK Back: Edmond’s Armory
Built in 1936 by the Works Progress Administration (WPA), Edmond’s historic armory originally housed the Headquarters Company, 179th Infantry Unit of the 45th Infantry Division, known as the Thunderbirds. The building also hosted community dances, concerts, basketball games, and even a traveling circus. When the National Guard outgrew the facility, a new armory was built on Bryant Avenue in 1972. The original building served various nonprofit organizations until 1995, when the Edmond History Museum took over the entire facility. Today, the 90-year-old landmark at 5th & Boulevard continues to preserve Edmond’s military heritage and serve the community.
