Summary

Originally constructed in 1907 as a harness shop, the O.K. Market began operating as a meat market in 1926. Today, it is a well preserved example of an early twentieth-century meat market. In many commercial buildings of this type, the interior spaces have been severely compromised due to renovation and/or alteration. The O.K. Market becomes a notable example due to the pristine condition of the interior, complete with many of the original fixtures and equipment used in the meat processing operations.
