This old building is located on the north side of Atoka, next to the railroad tracks. It was the Atoka Ice and Power Company building. The first part of the building was built in 1903 then in 1906 this 50’ x 70’ two story building was added on to the existing building. The company operated two coal fired dynamos and a 12 ton ice machine. Before this time ice had to be shipped from Denison TX by rail. The company also operated a bottling company that manufactured carbonated beverages. As a very young boy I have gone here with my grandpa and get ice.
