From my Oklahoma City postcard collection…
This photo is from the early 1950’s and is at Main Street on Robinson looking south. I remember Katz Drugstore there on the corner as it was a great place to go in for a cold drink when I was downtown.
Katz Drugstore gained fame in 1958 when it was the site of Clara Luper’s civil rights sit-in – one of the first in the country.
The State Theater is seen here and discussed in a previous post. The only building still standing today is the Colcord Building seen at the back right of this picture.
Main & Robinson Today
At the back left of this photo is the Ford Center. The Colcord Building is the last building on the right.
