It would be so nice to have all of this information in a book. I bought the Kivlehen House a few years ago, renovated it and it is not on the National Register of Historic Places. We have so much rich history in Edmond. Loved reading this story. It would be so nice to have all of this information in a book.

]]> Comment on Evolution of a building: 106-year-old building has survived all of downtown Oklahoma City’s transitions intact by Jeff Chambers http://blog.newsok.com/archivist/2010/07/27/evolution-of-a-building-106-year-old-building-has-survived-all-of-downtown-oklahoma-citys-transitions-intact/comment-page-1/#comment-740 Jeff Chambers Wed, 07 Sep 2011 19:53:37 +0000 http://blog.newsok.com/archivist/?p=909#comment-740 It is impressive that a building has lasted that long. I am impressed at how it continues to be maintained instead of tearing it down and building a whole new building. It is impressive that a building has lasted that long.

]]> Comment on Birthday house gets hot gift by Donald Gordon Well http://blog.newsok.com/archivist/2011/06/15/birthday-house-gets-hot-gift/comment-page-1/#comment-583 Donald Gordon Well Wed, 29 Jun 2011 16:54:23 +0000 http://blog.newsok.com/archivist/?p=1045#comment-583 Mary Phillips, My name is Donald Gordon Wells. I live in Texas and I’m sending you this note in hope you can help me. I know almost nothing about my family history in Oklahoma. I know my grand mother lived in Nichols Hills in the 40’s and 50’s where I visited her when I was little. Her married name was Wells. I heard one time that my grandfather ran a general store on a Indian reservation and that my grandmother taught school there. I would guess this was in the early 1900s. My dad Gordon Charles Wells I think was born on the reservation. At one time he owned a Café called the Breeze Inn. I remember a robbery he had and they were all laughing that the news paper wrote the crooks Breezed in the back door and out the front door at the Breeze Inn. I would guess this was in early 50’s. He had two sisters Lois and Dorothy. I think their married name were Grant and Speck respectively. They also live in Oklahoma City area. Lois in ‘I think’ a place called Spring Lake area? I know I’m asking a lot but if you can give me some hint how to research my family back ground on the internet I would appreciate it. If you have time for this kind of thing I can be reached by email at Wells.don@netzero.com. Thank You, Donald Gordon Wells Mary Phillips,
