Pawnee, OK (Pawnee County)
The Pawnee Agency and Boarding School Historic District is located just east of the town of Pawnee in Pawnee County, Oklahoma, and encompasses approximately 29 acres of the 726 acre Pawnee Tribal Reserve owned by the Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma. The district includes 15 contributing buildings and 7 contributing structures. Two of the contributing buildings, the Pawnee Agency Office and the Superintendent's Residence (resources 2 and 3 on the accompanying district map), were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. The district also includes 9 noncontributing resources, including 5 buildings, 1 structure, and 3 objects. Although there are now some modern buildings, traffic signs, and paved streets within the district, the historic resources predominate and it retains its historic character.
Construction dates of the contributing resources of the district range from 1876 to 1932. The dominant building material used for the agency and boarding school buildings is locally quarried sandstone ranging in color from light tan to red.
Construction of the Pawnee-Ponca Hospital began in 1929 and was completed by 15 January 1931, the date it opened. The hospital had a fifty-five bed capacity, and included an attached ward for tubercular patients and a separate, matching building to the west of the main building for use as a nurses' residence.
