Ron is checking out more historic architecture! He's in Watonga checking out the Abe Bills Building.

The "Abe Bills Building" in Watonga, Oklahoma is an early historic name for the building today known as the Noble Hotel. The Origin: The structure was originally built in September 1912 by Abe Bills to replace an older wooden rooming house. It first opened as a 17-room brick boarding structure known as the Abe Bills Rooming House. Following Abe's death in 1913, the building transitioned to family management and by 1920 was renamed the Noble Hotel.

Ron is out exploring Enid and stopped by the Enid Brewing Company. This building was constructed in 1900, making it one of the oldest surviving buildings in Enid. #historicbuildings #adaptivereuse #enid #ocfa #okarchitecture by @okcarchitecture

What makes a building feel haunted?

Maybe it isn't the ghost.

Maybe it's the way an old staircase disappears into shadow. A window that seems to look back. A door that has been closed for a hundred years. The silence of an empty hallway.

Architecture carries the marks of time—and sometimes, those details tell a story all on their own.

Would you walk through the door?

What makes architecture feel haunted?

Maybe it’s the style.

Or maybe it’s the shadows, the empty windows, the echoing corridors- the details that make you pause and wonder what happened here before you arrived.

A building can feel unsettling without a single ghost in sight.

Sometimes it’s the architecture itself that tells the story.

Sometimes the building doesn't need a ghost.

⛪️ A View Worth Sharing!

Our OCFA Board Member Mary Frantz recently captured this beautiful church while visiting Kansas and we couldn’t resist sharing it with you!

It got us thinking… What church has your favorite architecture? Maybe it’s a grand cathedral, a tiny neighborhood church, a historic landmark, or simply a place that holds a special memory.

📸 Share your favorite church with us! Tell us the name, where it’s located, and what makes it special to you.

We’ll start with Mary’s view from Kansas. 👇
