We see the sights of "Then and Now" in Sapulpa every 3rd Wednesday. And we share our moments in the museum world every 4th Wednesday.

Did you know...

1922: Frisco announced the beginning of a major $75,000 (which is $1,117,000 in 2019). remodeling of the Harvey House-depot. Among other improvements would be a one story (30'x35') addition to house the new kitchen, and in the basement a new refrigeration and cold storage plant – the Harvey House was to make its own ice. This would give Sapulpa one of the finest stations on the Frisco System. (Sapulpa Herald, March 22, 1922).

*Bonus* We are excited to show these images in our bonus portion. We recently discovered these images of INSIDE the Harvey House. Enjoy!

Hard to understand why many of our town's treasures were torn down.

This is quite interesting. I did not realize that Sapulpa had a Harvey House.
