Historic Baptist Building in OKC Added to National Register

Historic Baptist Building Gains National Recognition

Added to the National Register of Historic Places

After sitting vacant for years, the historic Baptist Building in downtown Oklahoma City has been added to the National Register of Historic Places. Preservation officials say the designation not only acknowledges the building’s architectural and cultural significance but also opens the door to tax credits and redevelopment incentives.

Building Built in 1948, poised for new life

The Baptist Building was originally constructed in 1948 and served as a hub for faith and civic activities. Now, developers and city leaders say the recognition provides momentum for restoration and leasing opportunities that could finally breathe new life into the structure.

What’s next for the building

With the official designation secured, the building is being marketed to potential tenants. Preservationists believe the Baptist Building’s central location downtown makes it an attractive option for businesses, nonprofits, or cultural organizations looking for a historic space with modern amenities.
