Alva Restroom Early 1900's

As to Alva's "Restroom" (Ladies Resting Area while in downtown Alva, OK, in the early 1900's) ... I don't know if you found the old penciled guestbook that my grandmother had saved from that Ladies place. I have scanned it and put it on my webpages.

I never really knew exactly where the famous Alva Restroom was located until Ellis Raymer left his message in our "Comments section" of the OkieLegacy last week.

So ... "on the west side of the square, it was in a little brown building just west of the fish pond" ... for the women folk, and similar to a pool hall for the men, a chance to visit, gossip and catch up on everything happening before returning back home on the farm by Avard."

Thank you so much for sharing that bit of information, Ellis. Here is the link to the 1909-1910 Alva Restroom Guestbook.
