**Enid Downtown Historic District** - National Register of Historic Places Ref # 07001265, date listed 2007-12-12
Roughly bounded by Maple Ave., 2nd St., Cherokee Ave., and Adams St.
Enid, OK (Garfield County)
The Enid Downtown Historic District encompasses approximately seven blocks, 29.6 acres, and it is nearly all within the town's original plat (1893). The northern boundary of the district (the north side of Randolph Avenue) is within the Jonesville Addition (plat dated 1898) and a small portion on the western side is in Weatherly Second Addition (plat dated 1902). The Enid Downtown Historic District has eighty-two buildings and two National Register properties, and most of the district surrounds the town square. There are also east/west extensions along the north side of the square along Randolph Street, and two additional areas which have Enid's tallest buildings on East Broadway and North Independence Avenues which represent the height of Enid's "Golden Era." from 1916 to 1944. These tall buildings also help anchor and frame the historic district. A third extension near the square includes several buildings that were also built during the "Golden Era". The south side of the square was excluded because there are no contributing buildings along the south side of Maine Street.
115 W. Broadway (United States Post Office and Court House). Classical Revival, c. 1940.

This is a minimalist three-story building of stone and it has small two utility buildings on the roof. It has three bays in an A,B,A configuration, with larger A bays. The upper two levels are separated from the ground level by. a raised stone belt course. In the A bays, pilasters separate friezes on both upper levels which have paired twoover-two double-hung steel windows. The third level windows have lintels of stone. The fagade has a cornice at the base of the parapet wall, and the parapet is finished with stone coping. In the B bay, windows are deeply recessed in three large channels, with a stacked combination of the third level windows that are the same as in the A bays. (1)
