Yes it is Bill. Talks about Frank Hilton Greer, the guy that built it. His original building was right next to what is now our home, in the parking lot between the two buildings. Both the newspaper buidling and the livery stable (where our house is) were wooden structures that burnt to the ground Easter Sun 1902. Frank had this new building done by October, 1902, as was our current brick structure, still a livery stable.

Frank Greer pissed off the first Gov so badly, that the Governer headed a movement to move the State Capital to Oklahoma City, which was approved in 1910. 1911, Frank was out of business. Got to be careful who you cheese off.
