The award will be presented to the law school and its contractor, the Frankfurt Short Bruza architecture and engineering firm, during the annual Statewide Preservation Conference on June 2 in Enid. The university purchased the former Central High School building at 800 N. Harvey Ave. in 2012 and renovated the structure in time for classes to begin in fall 2014. The building was designed by architect Solomon Andrew Layton, who also designed the Oklahoma state Capi- tol and the Skirvin Hilton Hotel. The historic Gothic-style building was constructed in 1910 and is on the National Register of Historic Buildings. The Oklahoma City University School of Law in Oklahoma City.

More than 10,000 prehistoric sites are recorded for the state, and they are estimated to represent about 10 percent of the actual number, according to archaeologist Don G. Wyckoff. Some of these sites pertain to the lives of Oklahoma’s original settlers—the Wichita and Caddo, and perhaps such relative latecomers as the Kiowa Apache, Osage, Kiowa, and Comanche. All of these sites comprise an invaluable resource for learning about Oklahoma’s remarkable and diverse The Clovis people lived Native American heritage. in Oklahoma at the Given the distribution and ages of studies sites, Okla- homa was widely inhabited during prehistory.

Oklahoma Built: a Bibliography of Information Sources on Oklahoma’S Built Environment Susan Bobo Oklahoma State University, [email protected]
Library Faculty Projects Architecture School Oklahoma State University Year Oklahoma built: a bibliography of information sources on Oklahoma’s built environment Susan Bobo Oklahoma State University, [email protected] This paper is posted at E-Archive@Oklahoma State University. http://e-archive.library.okstate.edu/arch/1 I N T R O D U C T I O N Welcome to Oklahoma Built: a compendium of published research, archival materials and links to organizations that highlight the richness and diversity of Oklahoma’s built environment. At its core is a bibliography of more than 600 entries – books, articles, internet links and more – on the people, places and buildings of architectural interest in our state. From sod houses and ‘shotguns’ to a unique skyscraper and the prairie palaces of oil tycoons; from Victorian to Art Deco to Mid-Century Modern, Oklahoma Built aims to cover it all. In the spring of 2006, anticipating an increase in patron requests due to the approaching Centennial, I set out to develop a comprehensive resource on Oklahoma’s built environment for the benefit of students, researchers and interested citizens alike. In addition to books and articles, I identified unpublished reports, video and film, organizations, image collections, and websites – in short, any relevant information sources on the topic. The scope of Oklahoma Built is broad - covering both the historic and the recent in equal measure. This balance is deliberate. The group Preservation Oklahoma ranks “Our Recent Past” as #2 on its annual list of Oklahoma’s most endangered public places. Oklahoma Built is also broadly defined - covering not only what is traditionally thought of as “Architecture with a capital A,” but the entire spectrum of the built environment as well.

Volume XCIV Number 3 Fall 2016 CONTENTS the Historic Preservation Movement in Oklahoma by Leroy H
Editor: ELIZABETH M. B. BASS, M.A. Assistant Editor: EVELYN MOXLEY Graphic Artist: PRESTON WARE Volume XCIV Number 3 Fall 2016 CONTENTS The Historic Preservation Movement in Oklahoma By LeRoy H. Fischer Historic preservation began in Oklahoma as a result of public interest in historic and prehistoric sites. Systematic identification of historic sites in Oklahoma began in earnest in the 1920s and continues today. LeRoy H. Fischer describes the early days of historic preservation in Oklahoma, chronicling the time before the passage of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and a few years after its passage. This article first appeared inThe Chronicles of Oklahoma 57, no. 1 (Spring 1979). 260 Development of the Historic Preservation Movement in Okla- homa, 1966–2016 By Melvena Thurman Heisch and Glen R. Roberson To celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, Melvena Thurman Heisch and Glen R. Roberson continue the story of historic preservation in Oklahoma. The authors discuss not only the programs administered by the Oklahoma State Historic Preservation Office to fulfill the mandates set forth in the act, but also the work of American Indian tribes and preservation organizations. 278 The Legacy of Oklahoma Architecture By Lynda Schwan Ozan Oklahoma architecture reflects both the aesthetic tastes and pragmatism of Oklahomans. The environment, technology, and culture have influenced architectural design since the first shelters were built in present-day Oklahoma. Lynda Schwan Ozan illustrates the importance of Oklahoma’s architectural legacy through examples of buildings and structures saved for future generations, the impact of prominent architects, and cases of structures threatened or lost.

“EMPTY CHAIRS, BROKEN LIVES”: THE OKLAHOMA CITY NATIONAL MEMORIAL AND MUSEUM BY MARTIN JOHN HOLLAND DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Landscape Architecture in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor David L. Hays, Chair Professor M. Elen Deming Associate Professor Christy Lleras Professor D. Fairchild Ruggles ABSTRACT This dissertation offers a description of the memorial and museum of the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum; provides a critical analysis of the memorial process used to generate the institution; and, finally, documents a historical context that situates the bombing and the subsequent memorial within a rich and complicated urban history. The dissertation describes the constructed Memorial and the Memorial Museum in Oklahoma City, designed by Hans and Torrey Butzer and Sven Berg, built to honor the 168 people who died in the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. The Outdoor Symbolic Memorial is comprised of specific interventions that correspond with the particular identities of social groups affected by the bombing, including survivors, victims, children, and rescuers. I argue that these interventions – the Gates of Time, the Survivor's Wall, the Field of Empty Chairs, the Reflecting Pool, the Rescuer's Orchard, the Children's Area and the Survivor's Tree – form a memorial circuit, intended to be experienced through bodily engagement with the series of stations by a visitor. The Museum relies on re-enactment in order for a visitor to understand the traumatic experiences encountered by the people within the Murrah Building at the time of the bombing.
