The Lawrence Light Guard Armory is a historic armory building at 92 High Street in Medford, Massachusetts. The three-story granite and brick building was built in 1891 to a design by Shepley, Rutan and Coolidge. The Romanesque Revival building has massive granite quoins on the corners, a granite course between the first and second floors, and granite lintel sections above its windows. The entrance, centered on the north facade, is flanked by round turrets with crenellated tops.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1]
