Opening as a middle school in 1928, Sunnyside was built on donated land.  The piece of land that was donated specifically for use as a school.   The school was closed in the 1970′s due to low enrollment.  Since the property is no longer being used as a school there is a dispute as to the ownership of the property.

Opening Thoughts with Psychosaw13: It is with great pleasure that I present to all of you Dogpatch U.S.A.  I first discovered Dogpatch by a suggestion from Chardonnay Mullin (a friend on Facebook) about a UE website that was Ozark area based.

Trails were cut through the thick brush and in the clearings plants were grown. I remember when I was younger going here with my father to pick out trees for our home. It was...

Lynn Lane School was built in 1928 and was named after the street on which it was built. Most Tulsa schools are named after a person, so this school is unique in this way. The school was annexed in 1962 and finally closed in 1975. In 1970, a girl was raped and murdered by a laborer and her body was found next door to the school. Also in the 70′s, a...
