Historical Highlight (April 2022)

This Month in Sapulpa History: The County Commissioners had met with the school board and had agreed to purchase the old Dewey College site for $5,000 for the new courthouse. Now a site for the court house had been settled, and the next step was in hiring an architect. The present courthouse now sits on a half block on the southwest corner of Dewey and Elm. Layton-and-Smith of Oklahoma City and Charles Popkin of Sapulpa were named architects for the new courthouse. (Sapulpa Democrat, April 16, 1914)
