Seeing vintage photos of Oklahoma is intriguing and inspiring. The way people dressed, where they shopped and how they traveled around the state is displayed in these fascinating photos. Here is a peek back in time in the Sooner state:
1. This is the northwest corner of 3rd and Main in Tulsa taken in 1941. The Crowne Plaza would be (if there was a corner still) where the Seminole Hotel sign is located in this view.
2. Northside of Frank Phillip Boulevard (3rd Street) in Bartlesville, OK, in the 1920s.
3. This family photo was taken in 1912 in Enterprise, OK.
4. Texola, Oklahoma graduating class. The population in 1910 was 361 and in 2010 it was 36. Texola was a well-known stop on Route 66 until it was bypassed by a new interstate.
5. A blind man walking in downtown Oklahoma City circa 1920.
6. Tulsa's Admiral Twin Drive-In Theatre. Taken probably around 1955.
7. This photo was found in the early 1970s in an antique store in Tulsa. The bakery was most likely located in Oklahoma, possibly Kansas, and dates back to the teens or 1920's.
8. Downtown Tulsa in the mid-1950s. The McFarlin Building housed a Skaggs Drug Center on the corner.
9. The date is unknown of this photo taken in the city of Erick in Beckham County.
10. "Indian Territory" circa 1900. This photo is of the Payne family.
