The Selph Building is one of the first commercial buildings to be built in the downtown area of Stillwater, Oklahoma.
Description and history[]
The structure was built in 1913, and was originally designed to house a physician's office on its second floor. The first floor was used for various commercial enterprises including a shoe repair shop and cafe. The Selph was one of the first buildings to provide for a public restroom.
The Selph is an 18-foot storefront, 85 ft (26 m) deep on the first floor, with a second floor 30 ft (9.1 m) deep. The building is of red brick with limestone trim. On the south facade there is a brick outhouse.[1][2] Other nearby historic buildings include the Santa Fe Depot, the Citizens Bank Building, the Hoke Building, the Walker Building, and the Courthouse.
