Then and Now images of Sapulpa.

Then: The Woodbury Hotel (1936).
Now: Ram Machine (today).

The building once was three stories. Being vacant during the tornado in May 1960, the top floors were badly damaged. Today it is now a one-story building.

*Bonus* Hobson Ave was one of the first streets established in town. The railroad tracks coming through Oklahoma stopped just west of North Main St, following Hobson Ave as the settlement became a town - then the tracks eventually moved out West.

This was so neat to come across as my great grandfather was Mr. Woodbury who owned the hotel :)
Thank you so much!
