NE 11th & Geary

I don't recognize the Mediterranean style house, in the 4th photo. Is that one still standing?

Here are some pictures I found of the area that are now gone, and remind me of Heritage Hills and Mesta Part. What a shame

These don't have a specified address, help me identify them if you can...

Basically the entire area east of Santa Fe, South of NE 13th street, and North of 1st street was completely obliterated during Urban Renewal. From what I have read, and from some historic photos,...

Thanks! Glad I shared, I knew someone would be interested
I too lived in a house that had numerous additions over the years. It's interesting to see what it looked like originally, it was MUCH...

Don't know if anyone here already knows, but you can find aerials of just about the entirety of OKC as far back as 1954. Also 1964 in some parts. pretty fascinating to see the changes...

It was like a continuation of the urban renewal policies from the decades before. Just tear everything down, even if there are no plans to build anything.

Plus, it's Classen-Ten-Penn, one of my favorite neighborhoods. But I guess back in the 90's it was just considered a slum.

So they were mostly 2 or 3 story craftsmans? man, what a pity. I loved those houses when I was younger

I think that demolition could have easily been avoided. I know that they widened 10th street,...

Does anybody have some pictures of this street before the houses were torn down? I barely remember them as I was young at the time but they seemed interesting. Sure I can find some aerial views but I...

Any word on what's going to happen to this Church? Think it will get torn down for some big-box style development

Well, I think the neighborhood is in a prime location, being between Nichols hills and Edmond, and conveniently located near Broadway extension. I'm surprised the property values are so low and it...

Wish I remembered this. Sounds more like a Chuck-E-Cheese than a McDonald's

Interesting, never knew about the miniature golf course. I wonder what happened to cause the neighborhood to go downhill?

What is the story behind these patchy looking postwar neighborhoods? the ones bound by Wilshire, Western, 122nd and Broadway Extension. Were they built as public housing for the poor, or were they...

How did you even find the records of demolition permits?

Hmmm, the same guy owns the Victorian house near by? I guess that one's next. Oh well. New construction is good for the economy at least.

I'm just baffled because there are other vacant lots nearby/lesser homes to be demolished if they wanted a lot to build on. Plus, alot of work had just been put into the house.

Is anyone else concerned about crime spilling in from the infamous North Highland Park neighborhood directly northeast of it? The location seems pretty iffy to me. Burglar bars and boarded up windows...

The 3 story house on the NW corner of 16th and Douglas, What happened to it??? A while back it was being restored, now it was demolished. Why? was it destroyed in an accidental fire or something?...

Ok. so if I had a duplex, which is already zoned for multifamily, converting the garage for that should be simpler, right?

I was thinking about buying a small house with an attached garage, and converting the garage into an apartment for extra income. I've heard in some areas that is illegal, and the penalty for doing so...

Is something going in Western Sizzlin's place? Or was it torn just to sell the vacant lot?

Is 1976 the year that building was built? It looked even older than that.

Haha, nice!
