[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.5912]

Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Unscheduled Attraction at Springlake Amusement Park is mass of crumpled metal and cinders following an early-morning fire that wrecked the four-unit building. The structure housed the park's fun house, electric "Bumper" cars and shooting gallery. Also ruined was the roller coaster building. Marvin Staton, park manager, said the concrete and steel building was supposedly "fireproof." The building was partially covered by insurance. The structure was erected in 1946 after a 1945 blaze destroyed the original building. The fire touched off several thousands of rounds of ammunition in the shooting gallery, but no one was injured."
