A while back I posted a sketch that I discovered on my recent thesis research trip, from an early plan for the Oklahoma City Civic Center.  Well Doug Loudenback’s curiosity was piqued and he has produced a wonderful new post that unravels the planning and development of Oklahoma City’s Civic Center built upon the land (pictured above) left vacant with the removal of the old Rock Island tracks.

It is a great post and I encourage anyone interested in the City’s history to check it out.  Doug is a master at pulling together pictures and resources, and culling articles from the Oklahoman archives – and here he delivers once again!
