<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%">OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma Historical Society, State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) is pleased to announce two new National Register of Historic Places listings in Oklahoma. The National Register of Historic
Places is our nation’s official list of properties significant in our past.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%">The Harrison School is located at 212 West Birch Avenue in Enid, Garfield County. The school is an excellent example of an early 20th-century primary school that evolved to meet the tenets of the Progressive Era
educational movement. Designed by Enid architect R. W. Shaw, the building is also an outstanding example of the Collegiate Gothic style.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%">The Ozark Trail—Indian Meridian Obelisk, located in Langston, Logan County, was constructed in 1922. The monument served as a waypoint when traveling along the Ozark Trail. It is significant at the state level for
its promotion of early automobile highways in Oklahoma. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%">Listing in the National Register is an honorific designation that provides recognition, limited protection and, in some cases, financial incentives for these important properties. The SHPO identifies, evaluates
and nominates properties for this special designation. <o:p></o:p></p>
