The Masonic Temple in Atoka, Oklahoma is a historic building from 1915. Originally constructed as a meeting hall for a local area Masonic lodge, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. [1]
The building has stained glass windows in its third story, and is regarded as unique architecturally in its community. At the time of NRHP listing, it was regarded as a prime candidate for restoration. [2] [3]
In 2013 the building was a hospice. [4]
As of 2023, the building is now home to Reba’s Place, a combination restaurant, bar, live music venue and retail store brought to life by country music superstar Reba McEntire. [5]
While inspecting the building in 2021, Reba Mcentire and a few others became trapped when a staircase collapsed. They were evacuated from the building safely. [6]
