The Walcourt building was built in 1927 by architect Joe Davis and builder Charles G. Beveridge and opened as an apartment building by its original owner, H.E. Musson. The 9,378-square-foot, two-story red brick building was designed in a Jacobethan Revival style of architecture.
In 1982, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic places. At the time, it was described as “architecturally interesting.”
Today, the building’s windows and doors remain boarded up. A sign outside warns against trespassing. Beside the building is a vacant wood-framed house at 141 NE 13th St., which is enclosed along with the Walcourt building by a shared fence.
Below is an ad from the Oklahoman dated 01/29/1928.

I see this building on my way to family house and just adore it.I am in love with this building,If I had the money myself I would live in Walcourt. I wonder all the time what it looks like inside. Anybody have the bluprints i would love to see them.
Unfortunately the inside is gutted now. Just two empty floors.
When I was a police officer, I drove by this building all the time and have always been fascinated by it. At one point I heard it was an asylum and of course haunted! I’d love to know more about its REAL past and how it remains. Maybe we can convince OU to take it on and renovate it for apartments again????
This is a pretty cool place. I used to see it sometimes driving down the road but never stopped to check it out until I saw it on the cover of a book about mysterious Oklahoma called Strange State. I gotta say this is the perfect haunted house. If it doesn’t have a ghost, it needs one.
The interior is not totally gutted. There is at least one apartment upstairs that is in decent shape. There were 14 units. All of the interior doors are slatted, like shutters. The apartment I saw had a fireplace, wood floors and a bathroom with a built-in floor to ceiling vanity. the building has been vacant for 32 years. The lady that owns it keeps the utilities on and keeps the yard mowed. Unfortunately, this is all that is required from the City to avoid the building being considered dilapidated. It is a real shame.
There have been numerous people who have tried to make a deal… but alas the owner has no interest in making any deal.
I work for the state and pass the Walcourt everyday. I’ve been praying for this building and location, asking to have the upper floor for my family home and Disciple Leadership Day Spa and New Business Ministry Classes, on the first floor. The only Spirit that will reside here will be the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ. Asking also that the owner of Walcourt please contact me.
Anyone know who currently owns the building and if so, do you have any contact information?
