Description:

“Meeker Junior/Senior High School is located on the east side of the downtown area on Carl Hubbell Street (Hwy 62). This is a large one-story native stone building, constructed in 1939 with an appropriation of $54,963. This is an L-shaped building with intersecting gable roofs. An aerial photo shows the L-shaped configuration of the school. The entrances to the two sections of the building have double aluminum and glass doors, and are recessed beneath a sandstone arch. Large window openings have been infilled with stone, and have decorative boarded windows. Four historic dormers on the facade have been removed. A bronze WPA shield is mounted on the wall to the left of the main entrance.

The school is listed on the Oklahoma Landmarks Inventory database.”   (waymarking.com)
