Then and Now Images of Sapulpa:

The image of Wells-Sapulpa Packing Co was located on a lot of nearly 80 acres. The location was just east of the Sapulpa Oil Refinery just north of town along Route 66.

(Then) between 1910 and 1912, Wells-Sapulpa Packing Co
(Now) this would become N Division St to N Brown St and from E Hill Ave and E 101st St.

*Bonus* newspaper article describes how Sapulpa was chosen for the location for such a large factory (Oklahoma Farmer and Laborer, January 5, 1912)

I have an antique photo of an oil refinery fire taken by "Moulder-McCann" studio whom I believe was located in Sapulpa, OK. Would you like a scanned copy of the photo? Perhaps you can help me understand the history of the event.
