OKRA occupies a building from the 1880's.
It is located just off of the historic intersection in the hub of the Main
Street/Market Square Historic District, directly across the street from the
Hotel Icon. One of the oldest buildings in Houston, 924 Congress (originally 72
Congress St.) opened in 1882 as the Casino Saloon and served as a bar until
Prohibition, when it became a barbershop. Since that time, the building housed
several other businesses including the "Circle Bar", named for its original
circle arch and barrel vault ceilings which are still intact
today.
