Finding someone to match the stucco work for repairs was most challenging part. This blog popped up in my mail again today with Christobel's question about how to find out information about her house. As I tell people coming to see El Nido, the folks participating on this blog are very knowledgable and helpful. It was a happy occasion to be reminded of our correspondence in the past. I will send along some pictures when weather is less dark and dreary than today. <br />Becky LoveBeckynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31117373.post-17246759575179956262014-01-03T12:04:10.341-06:002014-01-03T12:04:10.341-06:00Hi Doug - We live on a house in NW 17th Street hav...Hi Doug - We live on a house in NW 17th Street having bought it 2 years ago. If I was trying to trace the history of this house and its residents right from the time it was built, what's the best way to find this information? Thanks.

Western Avenue is the western border of Mesta Park, with Classen Blvd. 1 block to the west. I don't know who you mean by "Mr. Noble." Can you be more specific?Doug Dawghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14287287108412180656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31117373.post-27123224267259467872010-09-10T14:26:12.565-05:002010-09-10T14:26:12.565-05:00Hello,

It was built by Mr. Noble who was involved in telephones coming to OK City.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />JoanJoanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09091319940732626061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31117373.post-84001623244746431132010-09-10T14:22:34.008-05:002010-09-10T14:22:34.008-05:00Is this the neighborhood that holds Classen Blvd? ...Is this the neighborhood that holds Classen Blvd?

I'm the resident curator for an historic property in Shelby, NC that was built in 1921 from plans of Aurelius-Swanson Co, an architectural firm in Oklahoma City. It is a spanish style bungalow named El Nido. You can see pictures of it on Preservation NC website or National Park Service. I understand that there is at least one house in Oklahoma City built on similar plan. I was told that it is on Classen Blvd but I've taken virtual tour of both Blvd and Drive as well as your Mesta Park tour (very well done) and can't find anything that looks like it. Do you know of any similar house in Oklahoma City. We were told it was called the Dr. J.G Brinkley House but don't know from what period that dates. I thought perhaps he had been on faculty of Epworth Medical College or the Oklahoma City University but can't find any information about him either.

I left out lots of nice home. If you will contact me elsewise than here (I doubt that you'd want to make your address public), I'll be sure to include it when I do a revision.

My home is in the 900 block of 20th street and was one of the first renovated when families started moving back into the downtown neighborhoods. I was disappointed to see that my home didn't merit inclusion on your website, but loved seeing pictures of all of the other beautiful old homes in the neighborhood. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for putting this site together. I've really enjoyed it.<BR/><BR/>L.
