Joseph Foucart (Feucart) - The Architect of the Castle on the Hill...

Joseph Feucart was said to be a Belgian of French descent who designed at least 4 commercial buildings and one residence in Oklahoma Territory before he went west to California. The City Hall and a residence (now a "Bed 'n Breakfast") in Guthrie were designed by him, plus the first building for Oklahoma A. & M. College (OSU) at Stillwater, the "First National Bank" building at Perry, and the "Castle on the Hill" building for the Normal School at Alva. He was noted especially for including a horseshoe-shaped window, a distinctively arched entrance door, arches over some upper-story windows, and some peaks or spires decorating the roof edges.
