Building near Round Barn being repaired July 8, 2011
Posted by Ron Warnick in Preservation.trackback
The old Brooks Building that sits just east of the Round Barn on Route 66 in Arcadia, Okla., is being rehabilitated into an information center, reported the Edmond Sun in nearby Edmond.
Jimmy Blue of Arcadia said as far as he knows, the 90-year-old Brooks building has been a grocery store, feed store and welding shop, among other things. [...]
Plans are for an information center to go in the Brooks building. Matching Route 66 corridor funds will be applied for in September, Blue said.
“What we’re doing now is emergency repair because you can see daylight through the roof,” Blue said. “…We would like donations. They could call the Round Barn or stop by.”
To help or make a donation, call 405-396-0824. The Arcadia Historical Society owns the building. Volunteers from the construction management firm CMS Willowbrook are helping.
