Buffalo Theatre (RESTORED) - https://abandonedok.com/buffalo-theatre/ (👈CLICK THE LINK TO SEE ALL THE PICTURES) Constructed in 1894, this building throughout the years depicted the building as "D.G & Milly" as well as a Hardware and Furniture store.

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/

OKCPS - Destroying History with Taxpayer Dollars A few months ago we added the former OKCPS Admin Building to our list of developer ready properties. We talked to a few developers here and there about if there was any interest in the property, there was. We started trying to get in touch with the OKCPS Board to put them in touch with interested parties only to find that we were being turned around in circles with no answers. We then went to the neighborhood to hear straight from the community their thoughts on redevelopment. We were shocked to hear from numerous neighbors that a deal had already been accepted and under contract in 2019 between Ross Group and Nelson + Stowe Development under the name Carpathia to renovate the abandoned building into a boutique hotel. That deal was killed by OKCPS for an unknown reason but by the looks of it doesn't look good. We then got the shocking news two weeks ago that OKCPS voted to demolish the property using taxpayer money that would equate or succeed around $1 million per THEIR documents. We then started reaching out again along with numerous other upset parties only to find OKCPS has gone quiet ignoring all questions and concerns about the building and refusing to make a statement as to why they 1. backed out of the deal with Carpathia and 2. instead of finding another developer decided to leave it abandoned and now demolish it.
