• Oaks Mission School Gymnasium - Oaks OK
    The WPA constructed a stone gymnasium for the Oaks Mission School in 1937. The school was originally a Cherokee Mission school and is now a general public school. A 1985 Oklahoma Landmarks Inventory described the building in detail: "This rectangular shaped (106' x 60') gym is constructed of cut and rusticated limestone laid randomly. It has a gabled roof with stepped parapets... This Cherokee Mission school gymnasium is significant because it constituted an economically important community resource... The gym has served almost fifty years as an educational facility for primarily Cherokee Indian children of the community." This appears to be what is now...
