I'm not sure what the history is, but it's at the intersection of hwy 39 and hwy 59 between Dibble and Purcell Oklahoma. I've ridden by the place a few times and it's been abandoned as long as I've been here.

My favorite riding is taking the back roads, and finding old gems like that. COOL PICS.

Well done. A perfect backdrop for hog photos.

By the way, any idea how old the building is?
