  See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Co-operative_Publishing_Company_Bui... "The Co-operative Publishing Company Building is a historic building in Guthrie, Oklahoma, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building was the home of the State Capitol newspaper from 1902 to 1911, and it replaced another building on the same site, which the paper had been using since 1890." "In 1975, the building was acquired by the Oklahoma Historical Society, who had plans to outfit it as a publishing museum. The State Capital Publishing Museum opened in 1983. In the 1990s and again in the 2000s, budget cuts led to the trimming of staff and programs at the museum, and unexpected building-maintenance problems in 2012 led to a decision to close the museum indefinitely. As of 2016, the museum has remained closed since 2012." 2016 Streetview
