Regarding Kelley Club. Excerpts from the National Register nomination:
Kelley Club is significant for its association with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), the group whose mission is to assist alcoholics in finding and maintaining sobriety.
As an organization, Alcoholics Anonymous in Oklahoma City traces its roots to meetings that occurred at the Biltmore Hotel in 1941 (non-extant), Coyne Campbell Sanatorium (non-extant), VZD in 1942 (altered), and members homes from 1945 until the Kelley Club was completed in1946. The Kelley Club is the best site to represent and illustrate the growth of Alcoholics Anonymous in Oklahoma City. The other sites, many of which are non-extant, may be associated with AA but do not have the ability to convey the story of AA in Oklahoma City to the same degree that Kelley Club does.Photographed by Duane and Tracy Marsteller, June 20, 20252.
