1935 -- Walls Can't Be Used For Alva School

This article appeared in The Oklahoman, April 12, 1935, page 5, with headlines that read: "Walls Can't Be Used For Alva School."

"Walls remaining after fire destroyed the administration building of the Northwestern State Teachers college at Alva cannot be used in reconstruction of the building. Paul Colvert, member of the board of affairs, announced Thursday, following an inspection trip.

"Colbert's announcement shattered hopes of Alva citizens that walls of the classic castle building left standing could be used to build out of the ashes again.

"The walls will be torn down and material used as far as possible in a new building provided by an emergency appropriation by the legislature," Colvert said. Construction will begin when architects' plans are completed.
