October of last year my wife and I took a trip up into West Oklahoma and did some hiking in the Wichita Mountains. As we were passing through a small community we came across an old native stone Gymnasium in Comanche, Oklahoma. I just had to stop and get a closer look.

What the Past Can reveal

What we found were the burned out remains of an old gym with a round metal roof. The walls were built from native stone.

Broken Windows

On the curb there’s a stamped WPA Shield with the year 1939 on it. This is about the time the  Works Progress Administration was active and building new school and other public buildings.

Not much information on this location. From what I can tell, this school gymnasium was built in 1939 by the WPA. The school is long gone and the burned out shell of the gym is all that’s left. Old houses are up next to the building and were probably built sometime after the other building was removed.

At some point, I will look more into this location for more details.
