Guthrie Street Shots

Here are my street shots from Guthrie, Ok from a few days ago.  Guthrie has one of the largest historic districts in the US with over 2000 buildings covering 1100 acres.  In addition to the old business district which I have captured a small part of below there are plenty of houses built in the late 19th and early 20th century in the Victorian style.

This is our 3rd time in Guthrie and it truly is a pleasure to walk the streets taking in the town imagining how it was 120 years ago.

Boulevard plantings beautifully contrasting the red adobe building

The Apothecary Garden

Red brick everywhere, old and new. 

Oklahoma Sports Museum

Many buildings have operational businesses on the 1st floor.
The upper floors for the most part appear to be vacant.

The brick company names etched in the bricks
in the sidewalks and streets

Train station.  Now also houses a restaurant. 

Bed and Breakfast

5 Cents for a Coke

A little fresh green paint to spruce up the front.

We took the trolly tour.

Only 8 of us on the trolly tour

Some of the locals chatting up some young ladies

Which of course led to a gun fight.

Drug Store Museum

Rows upon rows of old bottles, weigh scales and various contraptions

If you had it they had a cure for it. 

Went to Ricks for a chocolate haystack, a pecan turtle
and a Latte.  Delicious.  

Lots of advertising painted on the sides of buildings

Stacey's restaurant where we went for Dinner

Thats it for Guthrie.  We will no doubt be back as its a nice spot to rest up for a few days after 3 long driving days.  Still lots to see and do.
