GUTHRIE OKLAHOMA, OKLAHOMA AVENUE 1950S ERA Autos, Signage, W.C. Pine REAL PHOTO

Description: Guthrie is a city and county seat in Logan County, Oklahoma, and a part of the Oklahoma City Metroplex. The population was 10,191 at the 2010 census. First known as a railroad station stop, after the “Land Run of 1889”, Guthrie immediately gained 10,000 new residents, who began to develop the town. It was rapidly improved and was designated as the territorial capital, and in 1907 as the first state capital of Oklahoma. In 1910 state voters chose the larger Oklahoma City as the new capital in a special election. Guthrie is nationally significant for its collection of late 19th and early 20th century commercial architecture. The “Guthrie Historic District” includes more than 2,000 buildings and is designated as a National Historic Landmark. Historic tourism is important to the city, and its Victorian architecture provides a backdrop for Wild West and territorial-style entertainment, carriage tours, replica trolley cars, specialty shops, and art galleries. This card, published by “W.C. Pine, Independence Missouri”, captures an era 50 years after it became the first state capital, with iconic era autos, a “Frigidaire Store”, and a “Florsheim Shoes Store”.
