Alma School - https://AbandonedOK.com/alma-school/ (👈CLICK TO SEE FULL ARTICLE AND GALLERY, FOR FREE!) Alma High School was a WPA project that started around January 1940 and one that the whole town was proud of. It was built to replace the former Alma School that was fifteen years old.

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.

The Santa Fe Depot located in Blackwell Oklahoma is a perfect example of the brick depots that were constructed more elegantly for the county seat holders. While it isn't anymore, Blackwell did use to hold the county seat for Kay County in the early 1900s. The construction of the depot started in the summer of 1914 after the plans were accepted. https://AbandonedOK.com #historic #history #abandoned #abandonedplaces #abandonedok #abandonedoklahoma #oklahoma #train #railroad #railroads #railroaddepot
Lincoln Plaza (RESTORED) - https://abandonedok.com/lincoln-plaza/ (CLICK TO SEE FULL ARTICLE AND GALLERY, FOR FREE!) The Lincoln Plaza and Hotel became one of the most utilized and important areas for business in the Oklahoma City area. A place with stories of legendary status including alleged secret stays by Elvis Presley. Former Gov. George Nigh still recalls running into Presley in a stairway on one of those visits. “My campaign for re-election for lieutenant governor was based in a room we rented in that hotel,” Nigh said. “One night I was up working, and instead of going to the elevator to go get something from my car, I walked down the stairway. I stopped, shook his hand and told him how much I enjoyed his music,” Nigh said. “He, of course, said ‘thank you very much…’ ”.....
