About this postcard
A six-story masonry office block with rows of rectangular windows and storefronts at street level, photographed from across the street with a few early automobiles and a horse-drawn wagon at the curb. The card names it as the Pioneer Telephone and Telegraph Co. Building of Oklahoma City. Pioneer Telephone & Telegraph was one of the principal independent telephone companies of Oklahoma and the surrounding region before it was absorbed into the Bell system in 1917, and its headquarters building was a downtown landmark of the young state capital.
