It looks like MidTown is going to learn the hard way that you can’t leave wonderful old buildings like this boarded up and empty for long periods. Sadly, this one had a bright future – it was to be home to the Oklahoma Foundation for Digestive Research and would have been a great anchor. Trison at OKC Talk reports fire destroyed all but the elevator shaft. The building was built in 1910.

This is why urban design commission needs to be REALLY careful on just how picky they want to be with people willing to develop these properties. They stay empty too long – this is what you get. I really worry about the empty buildings along the canal.
