History
Frederick B. Severs (1835-1912) built the 10-story hotel in downtown Muskogee early in the 20th Century. The grand opening was held on August 31, 1912. In October of that year, the renowned actress Sarah Bernhard stayed at the Severs while she performed in a play, "Queen Elizabeth." Muskogee's Rotary Club chapter, chartered in November, 1913, met each Thursday at the Severs. In 1922, an exhibition major league baseball game between the New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Dodgers was played at Athletic Park in Muskogee.[lower-alpha 1] The Yankees chose to stay at the Severs Hotel because it was within walking distance of the ball park.[3]
