Noftsger & Lawrence
1950
318 S. Littler, Edmond
From the 5/26/2018 issue of the Oklahoman:
“Partners Dr. Wayne Roberts and Dr. Ivan Berrey contracted with Oklahoma City architects Noftsger & Lawrence to design and construct their “dream hospital,” an iconic example of the midcentury modern style of architecture and state-of-the-art medical facility until 2000 when Dr. Roberts retired and closed his practice.
Today, visitors to Parkside Optical see the same midcentury facade and enter a reception area that includes the same terrazzo floors and amoeba-shaped ceiling with recessed lighting that greeted Parkside Osteopathic patients for the last half of the 20th century.”
The building’s new owners received a Citation of Merit in 2018 from the Oklahoma Historical Society’s State Historic Preservation Office for the thoughtful restoration of the building.
