Villas at Benedictine Pointe

Villas at Benedictine Pointe, located in Guthrie, Oklahoma, was originally built in 1925. Over the years, the building has been an integral part of Guthrie’s medical history, first constructed as a hospital under various names, including Benedictine Heights Hospital, Alverno Heights Hospital, and Logan County Memorial Hospital. Originally founded by the Methodist Episcopal Church and later operated by the Benedictine Sisters, the hospital served generations of Guthrie residents before closing in 1978. After decades of abandonment, the building became known for its historic significance and was eventually listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Now repurposed, it serves as a 52-unit multi-family apartment community, preserving its historic charm while offering affordable senior housing for residents aged 62 and older. The redevelopment includes a mix of restored and newly constructed residences, as well as amenities such as a community space, a FEMA-rated storm shelter, and modernized historic interiors. Through the federal Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit and the Oklahoma Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit, Villas at Benedictine Pointe supports the growth and well-being of the Guthrie community, ensuring its legacy remains a vital part of the city’s future.
