| Description of Significance |
LANGSTON UNIVERSITY WAS THE FIRST, AND ONLY, HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE IN OKLAHOMA, AND PROVIDED TO BLACK STUDENTS A HIGHER EDUCATION THAT WAS UNOBTAINABLE ELSEWHERE IN SEGREGATED OKLAHOMA. BUILT BY STUDENTS WITH MONEY APPROPRIATED BY THE GENERAL EDUCATION BOARD, THE COTTAGES WITHIN THIS DISTRICT ARE SIGNIFICANT FOR THEIR ASSOCIATION WITH BLACK EDUCATION IN THE STATE AND ARE NOTABLE FOR THEIR ARCHITECTURAL STYLE AND INTEGRITY. THE DISTRICT CONSISTS OF FIVE TEACHER COTTAGES AND THREE GARAGES BUILT IN 1930 AND 1948, AS WELL AS THE WEST ENTRY GATES BUILT IN 1947. THE COTTAGES ARE CONSTRUCTED OF BRICK IN THE TUDOR REVIVAL AND MINIMAL TRADITIONAL STYLES. LISTED IN NATIONAL REGISTER 1/7/1999. |
