Old Alva Residence Burns Friday (3 Jun 2011)

On the northwest corner of 7th and Locust Street, in Alva, Woods, Oklahoma once stood a wood frame, two-story house that has seen lots of residents in it's long years of standing at 7th & Locust Street. That home stands no more! Friday, 3 June 2011, home of Leo Brandt of Alva, Oklahoma burned to the ground at approximately 8:00 p.m., collapsing on itself after about 10 minutes into the fire after the fire department got there.

When we were just McGill girls living at the other end of the block (7th & Church Street, it seems like we would walked down to that house all the time. Were there apartments that you got to from the Northside of that house? My memories are vague on that issue!   |  View or Add Comments (1 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
