Enid, OK Square in 1900

This is a picture of the far-famed Enid Square, taken from the southeast corner in about 1900, the year that Robert N. Gray came to Enid, OK. Maybe someone out there reading this newsletter knows of an ancestor who might have remembered Enid in the early years of 1900. We would love to hear their stories. As you can tell we have been reading through our Robert N. Gray book about Enid, Oklahoma (Observation From the Station South of Town).

Here is a little description of items, buildings in the photo. The brick building in the left foreground is the Enid post office. The L-shaped building to the right is the land office, a popular structure in those days. Just above the post office building can be seen the old county jail, with its high board stockade, or "run."

Above the land office building, in the north block of the square can be seen the old courthouse, which was later replaced by the structure which was burned in 1930. The large brick building with the miniature steeple, to the left and above the post office and jail in the picture, is the old First National bank building on the corner of Broadway and Independence. It was known as the Frantz hotel in the early days. The information under the picture mentioned that it still stands today, and is still occupied for commercial and hotel purposes.   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
