| Description of Significance |
THE OLD LAWTON HIGH SCHOOL REFLECTS THE GROWTH OF THE CITY THAT IT SERVED. THE ORIGINAL CLASSICAL REVIVAL PORTION OF THE BUILDING, CONSTRUCTED IN 1909 WITH AN IMPRESSIVE COPPER DOME, REFLECTS THE EARLY PROMISE OF THIS SOUTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA TOWN. BY 1922, GROWTH OF THE TOWN NECESSITATED A LARGE ADDITION. A THIRD LARGE ADDITION WAS ADDED USING P.W.A. FUNDS IN 1939. THE BUILDING WAS REPLACED AS HIGH SCHOOL IN 1954, BUT CONTINUED TO SERVE AS THE JUNIOR HIGH FOR MANY YEARS. LISTED IN NATIONAL REGISTER 2/27/97. |
