Nestled behind a private tree line in Sand Springs, Oklahoma is a historic school with a plethora of development opportunities.

Capitol Hill General Hospital - https://abandonedok.com/capitol-hill-general-hospital/ (👈CLICK THE LINK TO SEE ALL THE PICTURES) Oklahoma City's population boomed throughout the 1920s and 1930s. This resulted in many suburbs of the city being created including what would be known as Capitol Hill. A hospital was of importance to the Capitol Hill area of town and under the direction of Dr. William H. Williamson. Five sets of plans were proposed for what would be called the Capitol City Hospital Clinic and construction would cost roughly $100,000. It was to be the largest hospital and dental clinic on the southside being four stories tall and including a basement.......CONTINUE READING BY CLICKING THE LINK BELOW AbandonedOK.com #abandonedjunkies #urbexworld #abandoned #abandonedok #abandonedworld #urbex #abandonedoklahoma #abandonedphotography #abandonedhospital #oklahoma #history

First Christian Church -OKC (Egg Church) (DEMOLISHED) - https://abandonedok.com/fcc-okc/ (👈Click the link to see full gallery of the church before its demolition) What is it that makes architecture worth saving? Some might argue the pretty looks. But let me present you with a bigger picture. Our architecture is a physical dialogue of our history, a time capsule of memories and events. A timeline of how building has changed over thousands of years amongst different regions and peoples. The difference in structures is what makes a city have character and charm, First Christian Church of Oklahoma City also known as the Egg Church is one of them. In today’s society, many big cities are experiencing a similar situation to what’s happening to Oklahoma City. Blocks, where you could once see Gothic, Spanish Revival, Colonial, and other different styles of architecture, have been torn down and replaced with mostly modernism paired with black, white, and grey shades of paint. This is why there has been a surge in the fight to preserve historic structures across America in the last decade, especially those of otherworldly design.....CONTINUE READING BY CLICKING THE LINK BELOW AbandonedOK.com #abandonedjunkies #urbexworld #abandoned #abandonedok #abandonedworld #urbex #abandonedoklahoma #abandonedphotography #demolition #oklahomacity
https://abandonedok.com/fcc-okc/ It is with great sadness we report to day the sudden and sickening demolition of the First Christian Church (egg church) in OKC. Despite having several buyers/offers on the building from developers looking to restore the building, they still decided to tear down this historic landmark. Not three months ago we made a post about the asbestos abatement that was going on inside, we were assured by the real estate attorney that this was only to help entice the sale of the building, which now we can assume was a lie. I’m just sick today that there were several buyers and yet they made this decision. Read history/article and see photos prior to demo here: https://abandonedok.com/fcc-okc/
