NWOSU's Oklahoma Hall Demolition...

As of 5:15 PM today (February 10, 2006, Friday), when I left Alva, the portion of Oklahoma Hall that parallels Oklahoma Blvd., NWOSU NW campus, (I call it the 'north wing') is no longer standing - these photos were taken about 9:15 a.m. this morning. The only part still standing is the 'west wing' that parallels 8th Street... and the crew was still working.

I have also attached a photo of the old McKeever School building that sits adjacent to the old dorm site and just north of the northern entrance to Education Center (or Old Horace Mann School & Jr. High).

The school (McKeever) is the one that Dr. Milt Lehr and Mrs. Lehr worked on for so long and organized the effort to have it moved to the NWOSU campus. It was originally located about 6 miles or so west of Alva.

If you can use any of these, feel free to do so - if not, that's OK, too. I suspect that after this weekend, Oklahoma Hall will be just a memory!

#1 - from street-level on Oklahoma Blvd (actually across the street north of the dorm);
#2 - from the sidewalk on the south side of the dorm, this section is all that currently remains of the dorm;
#3 - from the 3rd floor window of Fine Arts, showing the 'gap' on the right where the center wing and the front lobby area were located; the dumpster and tractor are in the general area where the center wing stood; the 'west wing' is on the left side of this photo (looking slightly northwest);
#4 - from a 3rd floor window of Fine Arts, showing the now-gone 'north wing', with KFC's sign visible in the background; looking northwest. You can see the bell tower and most of the roof of the Catholic church... and in the same vicinity you can see the old and new gymnasiums at Alva High School. The cemetery is in the far background; (Click on photo to left)
And - McKeever School, taken from the north steps of the Education Center (looking north)." -- Rod Murrow   |  View or Add Comments (4 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
