(NewsDakota.com) Since 1957, the building located at 124 South Fifth Street in Oakes was known as the Oakes Armory.

That era came to an end on Friday with the official re-branding of the building as the Oakes Community Center.

The City provided an open house Friday for those who wished to see the new features of the old edifice; which included new quarters for the Oakes City Council, auditor’s office and police department, in addition to a recently revamped ceiling in the gymnasium.
