It 1st appears in a 1/22/1911 ad.<BR/><BR/>2) 2nd address was 311-313 W. Main. Ads show that the move occurred 9/25/1921.<BR/><BR/>3) 3rd address was 418-420-422 W. Main. Multiple "congratulatory" ads (most by the new buildings contractors & subcontractors) to H-L on its new building occurred in the 3/28/1926 Oklahoman. This info also corrects what I earlier said about the date that the new building was constructed.Doug Dawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14287287108412180656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31117373.post-28028566070383542562007-09-13T21:20:00.000-05:002007-09-13T21:20:00.000-05:00A couple of things, anon ...1) Oklahoma City didn'...A couple of things, anon ...<BR/><BR/>1) Oklahoma City didn't exist until April 22, 1889, so if the pics were marketed at Harbour-Longmire in Okc, they would have been painted before Okc was open to settlement.<BR/><BR/>2) Harbour-Longmire was a large and very nice (according to reports) furniture and furnishings store constructed in 1925 or 1928 at 420 W. Main in Okc. It may have had an earlier location, I don't know offhand. An image of the building during construction is here: <A HREF="http://www.dougloudenback.com/downtown/vintage/1.harbourlongmire.htm" REL="nofollow">During Construction</A> ... the building still exists but is largely used for City of Okc offices these days ... <A HREF="http://www.dougloudenback.com/downtown/okc48.htm" REL="nofollow">today's building, the Main Place building</A>. If this isn't enough information, post again and I'll see what else I can find.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting!Doug Dawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14287287108412180656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31117373.post-15523935538846577862007-09-13T17:11:00.000-05:002007-09-13T17:11:00.000-05:00I have have two pictures that are pretty old I hav...I have have two pictures that are pretty old I have been trying to find out when and where were Harbour-Longmire Art Galleries Fine Picture framing company was located in okla city.The pics are dated 1867 and 1870 they may even be reprints.
