DESCRIPTION:
THE ATOKA FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IS AN ELEGANT SINGLE STORY WITH BASEMENT BRICK BUILDING DESIGNED IN THE TRADITIONAL PROTESTANT MEETINGHOUSE FORM, WITH AN ECLECTIC MIXTURE OF STYLES AND MATERIALS. ALTHOUGH PREDOMINANTLY ROMANESQUE REVIVAL IN STYLE, THIS FORMER CHURCH IS REFLECTIVE OF THE TIME PERIOD IN WHICH IT WAS CONSTRUCTED, COMBINING ELEMENTS OF THE MOST POPULAR STYLES FROM THE SECOND DECADE OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. THE INFLUENCE OF THE ARTS AND CRAFTS MOVEMENT IS ESPECIALLY EVIDENT, IN THE EMPHASIS ON HONESTY OF MATERIALS AND CRAFTSMANSHIP. LISTED IN THE NATIONAL REGISTER, 9/6/2007.
