An adaptive reuse of the former Fred Jones Assembly Plant creates a gathering place for musical performances.

Located in Oklahoma City’s West End, the Jones Assembly is a 20,000 square-foot music venue, restaurant and bar in the 100-year-old historic Fred Jones Assembly Plant. The roof was peeled back on a portion of the building to reveal the sky against its bow string trusses. This outdoor area features a seasonal stage, custom wood tree planters that double as tables, built-in nooks with fireplaces, a bleacher area, and picnic tables. Bricks salvaged from the site make up the herringbone paving, while string lighting and vine cables help to soften the industrial space.

Since its opening the Jones Assembly has quickly become one of Oklahoma City’s most active and visited social scenes. It has hosted a number of acts ranging from national recording artists to weekly house music shows during its first years of operation including performances by Willie Nelson, Old Crow Medicine Show, and the Wallflowers.
