Schneider House Apartments (Schneider Hotel)

-A A +A
1927, M. C. Parker. 120 S. Russell St.

Every growing town needed a hotel, for visiting business people and social events, and this four- and five-story Spanish Colonial Revival building was under construction within a year of the initial oil discovery in the county in 1926. Located adjacent to the (demolished) Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe passenger station, the Schneider became the meeting place of Gray County’s oil industry executives and the town’s social elite. The hotel was converted to rental apartments in 1992.

A block east at 100 N. Cuyler, the one-story, buff brick, red granite, and limestone-faced Bank of America Building (former First National Bank) of 1951 by Monnot and Company is an imposing modernist landmark by Oklahoma City architect C. L. Monnot.
