"The Annex was redesigned and opened in the early 1930s as a connecting garage to the Huckins Hotel, with the advertising slogan: 'Drive Right Into the Huckins Hotel.' Originally an extension with more hotel rooms, this seven-story garage held two hundred automobiles, and guests were able to drive in, register, and be taken at once to their rooms. By [this] time...the hotels were probably starting to feel the competition of the auto courts and early motels that permitted people easy access to their automobiles. At the Huckins you had the best of both worlds, and had the advantage of being near the center of downtown Oklahoma City as well." (Edwards and Ottaway, Vanished Splendor II 275)

The Z. P. Meyers/Barney Hillerman Photographic Collection

The Z. P. Meyers/Barney Hillerman Photographic Collection includes thousands of images, many of which depict businesses in Oklahoma City. Many photographs in the collection are from the Meyers Photo Shop, which employed Barney Hillerman and other photographers. This map highlights significant buildings in the downtown Oklahoma City area, as well as street and aerial views. The map features images dating from the late 1920s to the 1960s.

This project was made possible by a grant from the Pauline Dwyer Macklanburg and Robert A. Macklanburg Jr. Foundation.
