The Elks Victory Lodge–Ruby's Grill Building is a two-story, commercial brick structure in northeast Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
Built in 1929 by Dr. Wyatt H. Slaughter, a prominent African-American physician and businessman, the building was a center of African-American life in northeast Oklahoma City. It housed the Victory Lodge of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World.[2] It later served as a specialty store and restaurant space.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[1]
