My wife was out geocaching this afternoon and stumbled upon a building and wondered what the previous use of it was. Here's the Google Maps street view of the site (https://www.google.com/maps/preview#!q=346+Bratcher-Miner+Rd%2C+Norman%2C+OK&data=!1m8!1m3!1d3!2d-97.445258!3d35.173701!2m2!1f337.2!2f80.93!4f75!2m4 !1e1!2m2!1sVXP4A3kd0404SytZfYkDrQ!2e0!4m10!1m9!4m8 !1m3!1d616745!2d-97.4791974!3d35.4826479!3m2!1i1920!2i1139!4f13.1&fid=5). The approximate address is 348 Batcher-Miner Rd in Norman. Anyone have any ideas what this was?

Thanks,

Mason

Google search looks like it was a compost facility

"If you are in the Norman area, you have the option of taking your leaves, branches and other yard waste to the Norman Compost Facility, 348 Bratcher-Miner Road, just off State Highway 9 and Jenkins Avenue." - koco article

It is across the street from the compost place. Hubz who used to work for the city says it was a grainery-type place and maybe 2 small movies have been filmed there. If you go to the compost facility you will see it - very interesting, I think.

This was the Naturizer Plant. They produced a fertilizer. Naturizer Technology (http://piersonnaturizer.com/history.htm)
