1-3 North Main

1-5 N Main

Palace Drug, 1905. Click to enlarge.

Palace Drug Store, original inhabitant of the Wise building. By 1915, it had been replaced by Hadley Drugs.

Main and West Central, 1910

The picture above shows a dirt Main Street. It had already begun to be paved. Note the remodeling on the corner building performed by the next tenant. A facade over the front and side corner, two windows replaced with three, and the south roofline reworked. And that amazing Hadley’s stained glass added, of course.

3 N Main still possesses the original façade of cast iron that was purchased by the piece from a catalog out of St. Louis. It is one of only sixteen of its kind in Oklahoma.
