Buildings next to Red Prime

[wschnitt]

Does anyone have any pictures of the buildings that once stood next to Red Prime and when they were torn down?

What about across Broadway and the vacant lot once shared by the Hale Photo Building?

Yep.....

I would love to see them. I looked through the RetroMetroOKC Auto Alley pages but did not see what I was looking for.

I'll get you some links this weekend... it was an incredible bit of architecture.... sad it went away

Great. I would very much appreciate that. Looking at what is left, I can only imagine what was demolished. North of the TAP Architecture Space there is a brown brick strip that was part of the next building to the north. It is a teaser of what once was.

I belive the building next to Red Prime was demolished in 1978 or early 1979. I have a piece of it in my backyard as a architectural remnant. I thought there might be a pic in Oklahoma Images with the Oklahoma City Library. Not sure though. I know I have seen a pic or two floating around.
