Mesta Park Tour & History
For those of you interested in knowing more about Mesta Park or seeing more of it, I've completed a lengthy 2 article post on it ... a little history and a lot of pics.
Link: Doug Dawgz Blog: Mesta Park
The "Tour" part of the articles contain more than 150 images ... too many to post here ... but here are a few (unfortunately, I have located just a few "vintage" images but a few are in the article).
The Tour Area and Route:
A Few NW 16th Street pics, small version:
This is Perle Mesta's home for 1 to 2 years before she left to go to college
A Few NW 17th Street pics, small version:
Mayor Edward Overholser's home
A Few NW 18th Street pics, small version:
This is where the trolley ran on NW 18th toward Classen
My Favorite ... just right for today!
Always a neighborhood favorite
A couple of views from Mesta Park's Park
Some small images on NW 19th
Some on NW 20th
Uh, Oh! This one needs some serious affection!
It doesn't have to be "big" to be nice!
On NW 21st
An unusual art deco home
A fairly weird 2003 home (somehow getting approval despite historical district requirements)
On NW 22nd (Robinson to Walker, though not part of University Addition, is part of Mesta Park)
Approaching Western
This neat 1904 Sanborn Map shows Oklahoma City in these days ...
