The Watres Armory is an Armory located at 900 Adams Ave., in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The armory was built in 1900 or 1901, and was used as a boxing venue in Scranton during the 20th century. The venue which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, fell into disuse in the 21st century. In 2015 it was sold to DFM Properties for $150,000, with plans to maintain the building's exterior castle facade, and lease the building for commercial use.
The Armory hosted the 1926 World welterweight title match between Pete Latzo and Mickey Walker, as well as the 1983 WBC World heavyweight title match between Larry Holmes and Lucien Rodriguez
