Sooner Building

Known as the Sooner Building at the end of its life, this structure was originally the Goodholm Building, named for its developer Andrew Goodholm. In 1910 it became Miller Bros. Dept. Store and in 1916 the Grain Exchange where state crops were brought to market. Its most notable client, though, was Sears-Roebuck Dept Store which opened their first OKC store here in 1929, remaining until 1954.

The remainder of the block from Sheridan to California, Harvey to Hudson consisted of low-rise retail, rooming houses and surface parking lots.

This building was part of the Myriad Gardens "superblock" and was left out of demolition plans initially, eventually falling in 1973.
