Grand Army of the Republic Building is a historic Grand Army of the Republic building located at Scranton, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1886, and is a red brick and granite building in the Romanesque Revival-style. It consists of two sections: a three-story with full basement section measuring 40 feet by 60 feet, and a 40 feet by 34 feet section with four stories and a full basement. It features a porch with red granite columns, a carved brick archway, an ornate carved brick cornice, cast stone arches, and corner turret with round cupola and finial rising to a height of 90 feet.
