Chandler Armory, Art Deco military building in Chandler, Oklahoma.
The Chandler Armory features local red sandstone construction with a barrel-vaulted roof, gun bays, offices, classrooms, and a wooden-floored drill hall.
Built between 1935 and 1937 by the Works Progress Administration, the structure served as headquarters for Battery F of the Oklahoma National Guard until 1971.
The building transformation from military facility to Route 66 Interpretive Center represents the evolution of Chandler's community preservation efforts since 2007.
Visitors experience the history of Route 66 through audio-visual installations, including simulated hotel rooms with overhead screens displaying historical content.
The facility contains the only brick outhouse in Oklahoma, complete with original French plumbing fixtures from the 1930s construction period.
