The February 4th Oklahoman, of OKC, released the 2008 list of the 12 most endangered Oklahoma sites.
They are:
Archaeological Sites-- statewide
Art Deco Apartment Building-- OKC in Crown Heights District
Boley Historical District-- 1903 black settlement where blacks could govern themselves
Chilocco Indian School-- 1884. Grew from one building to 35 in 1907.
Fairchild Wine Vault-- 1893- first winery in Oklahoma territory
Lustron Homes-- 1949-1950-- built entirely of steel to address the housing shortage after WWII. 2,560 built and eight still standing in Oklahoma. I'll have to find out more about these homes.
Midtown Tulsa-- 11th to 51st streets, Lewis Avenue to Arkansas River. Homes from 1920s to 1950s. McMansions replacing them.
Places of Worship-- statewide
Route 66 Motels-- Sayre to Miami
