The Old Douglas Armory is locally significant under Criterion A, because of its contribution to military history in the state of Wyoming and Douglas, Wyoming. The armory was completed in three stages.  Construction began in 1931 and used funds provided by Hoover Administration economic relief programs. Construction resumed in 1937 with the assistance from the Works Progress Administration.  The armory was completed in 1951.  The Old Douglas Armory was used continually by the Wyoming Army National Guard until they moved to a new facility in 1993.  The Wyoming Army National Guard has a long history in Wyoming and has existed in the state since before it achieved statehood.  The Wyoming Guard deployed units out of the Old Douglas Armory to nearly every major military event that occurred during the period of significance.
