Title: Unidentified Beryl Ford Photos
Post by: PonderInc on July 23, 2008, 03:36:52 pm
I was flipping through the Beryl Ford collection online, and came upon a bunch of "Unidentified residence" pictures.  Of course, that sounds like a challenge to me...

I'm pretty sure that this one is on Utica, near 33rd...
(http://www.tulsalibrary.org/JPG/B7434.jpg)

Several of these look familiar to me... Isn't this on 41st between Lewis and Utica?
(http://www.tulsalibrary.org/JPG/B7106.jpg)

Don't know about this one, but I love it!
(http://www.tulsalibrary.org/JPG/G0191.jpg)

In any case, the "unidentified residences" start on this page of the Beryl Ford Collection (http://"http://opac.tulsalibrary.org/search?/tberyl+ford+collection/tberyl+ford+collection/1,1,23072,B/exact&FF=tberyl+ford+collection&20851,23072")... you can just browse through and maybe solve some mysteries.

I know you're right on the second one. That one is almost too easy. Its right on the northwest corner of 41st & Lewis to be exact.

If you want to get really spooky, here: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=41st+%26+lewis,+74105&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=48.421237,68.378906&ie=UTF8&ll=36.110143,-95.958431&spn=0.012152,0.02502&z=16&layer=c&cbll=36.104255,-95.959934&panoid=DnQQgSpTF7io5ec86L7skA&cbp=2,11.391801089789169,,1,-4.5791870152473555

Regarding the first one, I think you're thinking of this (http://"http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=41st+%26+lewis,+74105&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=48.421237,68.378906&ie=UTF8&ll=36.121376,-95.966091&spn=0.01215,0.02502&z=16&layer=c&cbll=36.115296,-95.96705&panoid=FbpB3PruX0gt_qcOwLgn-g&cbp=2,89.5160586982508,,0,2.9862971665353415") house. But, I don't think we have a match.

The top one is the Ungerman house. I could find out more but I'd be called a liar by CF.

Tulsa was a beautiful city before the trees got overgrown, the streets fell apart, and we went to a council form of government.

Great thread!  I love pics that show houses and how they originally looked - as an architect, I really enjoy seeing what the place used to look like.  The original owner of my house passed photos down, so I'm lucky to have some of it right after construction in 1928...then again in the 30's, 50's, 60's, and 80's.  I was hoping to see some other houses in my neighborhood but haven't come across any yet.

Where was this taken?  It was taken in 1962.  In 62, US 64/OK 51 made right-angle turns at 15th and Harvard, 51st and Harvard, and 51st and Memorial.  My guess is one of those 3 locations.

There was a another earlier view of this building before its eastern expansion and showing the multiple garages. I do believe this is the old Whisenhunt funeral home on 6th street.

Yes that is 51st and Harvard and the reason I know that is there was a riding academy right behind it called Millerwood.  I took lessons there from the time I was five until I was fifteen.  We would ride the horses up behind the store, tie the horse to the fence and go buy a coke.  We thought that was so cool.

A guy by the last name of Kinney owned it back in the late 80's. He had converted the house and the house behind it (you can see the steps going up to the 2nd floor)into apts. I lived in one of the apartments on the ground floor of the house in back. It was purchased by another family in the 90's and they converted both buildings back into houses. The house in back was a "Servants Quarters" at one time, if I remember correctly.

I say the street comish back then did his job much better than our Pewbic Diswerks depotment.

Joe Creek flooded all the time and Millerwood was the main draw.

I don't think so. The guy who lived here would never have voted for her either even though she was a close neighbor.

1907 E 13th Place.  There is a Loch Ness monster type of sculpture "swimming" through the front lawn now.  The house on the left in the photo (west) was removed for an off ramp when the Broken Arrow Expressway ended just to the south of the houses in this photo.

Two doors to the west of this house is a bungalow on the northwest corner of 13th Place and Wheeling (1320 S Wheeling Ave).  It was featured in an enormous black and white photo at Tulsa's airport.  I don't know if it's on display there anymore or not.

The thing I like about the Ford pics is that they capture the feel. Maybe because they're black/white.  You can feel the heat when you see the windows wide open. No one had central air but maybe an occassional window unit by the late fifties or water cooler. You can feel the dry grass crunch under your feet. No one had weed eaters, power edgers, or even power mowers so the yards often looked a little unkempt. They had chairs on their front porches they even sat in on hot evenings. These are all things I remember when I had a paper route in the old Hillcrest edition in the sixties. Those homes were merely 30-35 years old then and still had the original owners tending them. Would be like viewing pics of homes built in the late seventies today...Park Plaza, Southern Hills, Woodland Hills etc.

Anyway, they're fun.

There are a lot of Beryl Ford photos that could use more detailed identification. A while back I suggested to the library to put the collection up on Flickr, where photos could be "geotagged" and collect comments and tags. It would be great to have the Beryl Ford photos geotagged so that, when you do a Flickr map search, you could find the historic photos for a given spot.

The Library of Congress, the Smithsonian Institution, and a few other archives are already doing a pilot project using Flickr with some of their photo collections (http://"http://www.batesline.com/archives/2008/07/flickr-the-worlds-historic-photo.html"). For many photos, they have little or no identifying information, and they're hoping it will be easier for people to encounter and identify the photos on Flickr.

The Tulsa library is looking at better ways to organize and display the collection; I hope they consider this option.

Agreed.  There are several photos in the massive Beryl Ford collection that are marked as unknown that I can identify.  I know it's not much, but I'm sure that those few times several hundred of us could make a difference.

I have the old Tulsa World three photograph-book set called 'Tulsa Times', I think it is, with photos from the Beryl Ford collection.  Got it as a wedding gift back in 1990, if I recall right.

My memories or the pics? The Beryl Ford collection is available through the library web site.

No privacy fences, (open range for kids), lots of elm trees and fruit trees. Lots of people actually slept outside during the hottest summer months. Hardly anyone locked their entry doors, which were left open. Latching the screen door was good enough. It was quieter because there were no central air units humming (attic fans were popular), expressways roaring or motorcycles. The young kids in my Hillcrest edition pretty much watched out for and took care of the old folks who let us play in their yards. We mowed for them, put medicine in their eyes, talked at length about their past, and defrosted their refrigerators.

If anyone can pinpoint this location, I'll be impressed.  I could probably find it if I spent many hours on Google Maps or Terraserver, but there's a good chance that this area has changed a lot.

Just from the alignment it's possible that could be Skelly Drive at Garnett.  The east-west road is likely 11th Street.

Hoss beat me to it.  I agree:  11th & Garnett & Skelly.

The pattern of creeks and ponds looks similar to the Tupelo Creek watershed.

Looks like US 75 and OK 117, which would mean either Sapulpa or Glenpool.

Probably north Peoria.  Lewis and Memorial were also OK 11 at different times.

That's tough to say on the top one; I'll defer.

The bottom one almost looks like Memorial just north of Admiral, but the grade downhill doesn't look steep enough.  I'll have to defer there too.

That was my first guess, but the road on the aerial looks to be a two-lane highway.  Was Skelly originally a 2 lane highway here?

Looks like I was right about it changing a lot...

Yes, originally it was, IIRC.  Earlier in the 30s, there wasn't much out past 21st to the south and Harvard to the east

You guys are great! I love seeing the mysteries solved...and hearing the stories about life in Tulsa "back in the day."

(I was talking to a guy recently who remembers shooting .22s with his buddies at Mohawk park back when he was a kid.)

Boo, how the heck do you know all these old houses?

I'm pretty sure the top one is Main Street (aka Hwy 75) in Sapulpa, from the south end of town, looking north toward the intersection of Taft (aka Hwy 117).  Now, there's a McDonald's and Ace Hardware there on the right.  It's not really recognizable on Google Street View today, but I recognize the photo as looking more as it looked when I was a kid.

That was one of my first guesses, but the presence of a railroad crossing visible in the picture threw me off.  Was there once a rail line parallel to OK 117?  Looking at aerial photos, it's difficult to tell if a rail line ever ran through there.  The archive of old ODOT maps doesn't really help, because there are no Sapulpa inset maps.  Anyone know where any old local city/county maps* are online?

*Excluding this one, of course, which has been extremely useful to me:

Oh, I thought that was just an old fashioned traffic light.  If that is Sapulpa, there are no tracks parallel to 117, because there is a notoriously bad flood zone on both sides of the street, all the way up to Mission Ave. . . .

Looks like US 75 and OK 117, which would mean either Sapulpa or Glenpool.  



i couldn't get the picture embedded; but, here is a link to streetview:

you can tell the building on the left is the same.  its just white now.

I wish I could find an old picture of my place on 1719 South Saint Louis but after about 1 hour of going through the pics...no luck.

The original owner of this home had a bit of a complex.

Probably north Peoria.  Lewis and Memorial were also OK 11 at different times.



I'm pretty sure the top one is Main Street (aka Hwy 75) in Sapulpa, from the south end of town, looking north toward the intersection of Taft (aka Hwy 117).  Now, there's a McDonald's and Ace Hardware there on the right.  It's not really recognizable on Google Street View today, but I recognize the photo as looking more as it looked when I was a kid.



I think the bottom one is Memorial just south of the Sertoma Club. If you look at this picture of Memorial (http://"http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=36.15949,-95.886226&spn=0.003915,0.010943&t=h&z=17&cbll=36.157468,-95.886707&panoid=u-oBFqS0CfNnAFED3YTzeA&cbp=2,179.460529202603,,0,3.202823813269089&pw=2")and look at the cracks in the road, the driveways on both sides it appears the same. The center median has been changed over the years but I think this is it.

Beautiful craftsman! Could this have been in downtown? What a shame that it is gone.


I don't think it's gone.  I'm guessing it's the house on the northwest corner of 18th and Norfolk (https://www.google.com/maps/@36.1361566,-95.9791275,3a,90y,337.4h,88.77t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sggiYcRcrbTh1pvK-x6-tGg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656).

Sure looks similar, but if it is the same, there have been some modifications to the front of the house like the addition of a dormer window and changes to the brick work along the porch and removal of the balcony on the second floor.


Title: Re: Unidentified Beryl Ford Photos
Post by: cannon_fodder on June 24, 2016, 08:12:22 am
I was compiling all the reasons it couldn't be the same house:

The foundation brick is different
The rest of the house is now brick, it was siding
2nd floor balcony removed
Roof over the porch has been narrowed
All the decorative supports, wood work has been removed
A flat second roof was replaced with a gable
The attic vent has quadrupled in size


BUT... to really kill the issue I decided to look at the house next door. And I think it's the same damn house!

 The house we are looking in Google at was built in 1925. The house immediately to the north wasn't built until the 1950s, so it wouldn't appear in the background to the right of the old house - and that space is blank in the old picture.  The house next door to the west was built in 1913. (http://www.assessor.tulsacounty.org/assessor-property.php?account=R25025921208500&return=close) And there is a house to the west in the old picture too.

We can't tell that much about it - 2 stories, sided not brick, 3 part brick chimney, and a roofline that cuts back into the house when level with the ground. If the house next door to the Google house can be rulled out - then the Google house and the old house are not one in the same. But I think they are...

Chimney: Initially I thought the chimney seals the deal as a NO. But then I went back in time on street view and a ways down the street. a new chimney has been built along side the old chimney. The old chimney is a brick chimney with 3 exit ports on the top. Just like the photo (you may have to zoom in):
https://www.google.com/maps/@36.1361565,-95.9795938,3a,19.5y,10.21h,104.75t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s3SmyKO1Yo_Yuk7CRzpAvsg!2e0!5s20110701T000000!7i13312!8i6656
https://www.google.com/maps/@36.1361565,-95.9795968,3a,62.4y,17.99h,109.88t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1suuYR6knTs-IqIj_qsvS_Tw!2e0!5s20140401T000000!7i13312!8i6656

The other element that was interesting was the roofline. It cuts back in sharply as an architectural element. And it certainly appears the neighbor house still does this today:
https://www.google.com/maps/@36.1361566,-95.9792248,3a,19y,320.82h,96.17t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s8fsFMxfZAZ8N-iSyYpeJ1w!2e0!5s20140401T000000!7i13312!8i6656

The neighbor house has had a lot of changes and an expansion towards the house we are looking at. But it sure fits.

Same Chimney. Same roofline. Same pillars. Same porch. Same concrete cap on brick pillars. Same windows. Same number of steps on the porch. Same lot orientation (and both a corner lot). Sidewalk same distance from road. Driveway is in the same place. Ten years ago there was even a pine tree in the same place a tiny pine tree stands in the old photo (https://www.google.com/maps/@36.1361566,-95.9791181,3a,75y,339.09h,93.74t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sF1N86CJqf1UG9J_axYsbGA!2e0!5s20071101T000000!7i3328!8i1664) (not that it has to be the same tree). Some odd details are even the same (note under porch roof there is a beam going from the last pillar to the wall, its int he exact same place even though the roofline of the porch ceiling has moved).

I'm saying its the same house.

It was driving me crazy.

If it is, it's a real shame they screwed it up so bad over the years.  The original was much nicer looking house.

Its the same house, but it's not the same at all. The old craftsman detailing was appealing, the new brick pseudo tudor treatment is not.

They probably did it when 1920’s craftsman was soooooo passe, and tudor was all the rage.  Just wait until the Tuscan make-over.
