Oklahoma Governors Mansion – Oklahoma City Historical Postcards
From my Oklahoma City postcard collection…
Hey there, fellow history and architecture enthusiasts! I’m excited to share a little slice of Oklahoma City’s past with you all, and what better way to do that than through a charming postcard image I stumbled upon? It’s a snapshot of the stately Oklahoma Governors Mansion, captured in all its glory back around 1960.
This grand residence sits at 820 NE 23rd St, just a stone’s throw east of the Oklahoma State Capitol building. It’s like peering into a time capsule, seeing how much has stayed the same and imagining the hustle and bustle of the era.
Now, get this: Oklahoma had been a state for a good two decades before the Governor’s Mansion was even a twinkle in the state’s eye. It wasn’t until 1927 that this beautiful piece of architecture was brought to life. Can you believe it? For twenty years, Oklahoma’s governors were, I guess, just kind of winging it without an official residence!
It’s pretty wild to think about the stories those walls could tell if they could talk. The mansion is more than just a pretty face; it’s a symbol of Oklahoma’s strength, pride, and history, having housed numerous governors and their families over the years.
So, whether you’re a history buff, an architecture aficionado, or just someone who appreciates the beauty of Oklahoma City’s real estate, I hope this little postcard from the past has piqued your interest. Who knows, maybe it’ll inspire you to take a drive down 23rd Street and see this historical gem for yourself!
