Majestic Building
Address: 101–111 North Harvey Avenue
View: Northwest
Architect: J.W. Hawk (Edwards and Ottaway, Vanished Splendor 42)
Built: 1910 (Edwards and Ottaway, Vanished Splendor 42)
"The Majestic Building was designed by J. W. Hawk and built in 1910 by Tom O'Keefe, who specialized in reinforced concrete construction. This grand though narrow seven-story building was fireproof, had tile floors in its corridors and lobbies, was lighted by electricity, and steam heated by the vacuum system. The cornice was copper, with white terra cotta ornamentation. The walls were brick, and plans included 'ample provision for excellent ventilation.' While a few stores occupied the ground level, the upper floors were designed for office space." (Edwards and Ottaway, Vanished Splendor 42)

The Z. P. Meyers/Barney Hillerman Photographic Collection
The Z. P. Meyers/Barney Hillerman Photographic Collection includes thousands of images, many of which depict businesses in Oklahoma City. Many photographs in the collection are from the Meyers Photo Shop, which employed Barney Hillerman and other photographers. This map highlights significant buildings in the downtown Oklahoma City area, as well as street and aerial views. The map features images dating from the late 1920s to the 1960s.
This project was made possible by a grant from the Pauline Dwyer Macklanburg and Robert A. Macklanburg Jr. Foundation.
You can view more images from the Z. P. Meyers/Barney Hillerman Photographic Collection on The Gateway to Oklahoma History.
