The Enid, OK Courthouse & Courtyard











The very top photo above shows that the original Enid courthouse
was located right in the middle of what is now Broadway Street.
The courthouse was surrounded by a very nice courtyard. These
are most of the photos I have been able to find.
The top photo also looks as though the courthouse is about to come
down. Does anyone know the history of the courthouse? Years?

I understand that the original courthouse was destroyed by fire, but I don't know what year.
It was a fantastic looking building and it's a shame it was lost. It would have added a nice dose of architectural "character" to our current downtown if it would have survived.
From this page:
Encyclopedia of Oklahoma History & Culture
"In 1907 the A. O. Campbell Construction Company of Oklahoma City completed an ornate, four-story courthouse, which was destroyed by fire on January 29, 1931."
What a grand old building. Thanks for all the pics!
