[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.6280]
Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "Oklahoma City's biggest single building project - construction of the $13 million civil aeronautics center - is moving along rapidly toward a required completion date of Jult 1, 1958. The contractors - Tankersley and Associates - turned over the first completed structure to the city last week, and within 30 days a second of the seven buildings is to be finished and ready for final approval. A virtual forest of concrete and steel has sprung up amidst the old dilapidated wooden barracks-type World War II structures that have housed the center the past 10 years. Biggest of the building is a sprawling 650,000 square foot warehouse and shop which is supposed to be the largest building in the southwest constructed with prestressed steel beams. The huge warehouse measures 1,000 by 650 feet and is expected to be completed about January 1. It contains about 400 support posts which now are standing in orderly rows like sentinels, because the roof has not yet been started."

Esther, who likes to entertain, finds that when people sit in a friendly circle in front of a roaring wood - burning fireplace (she says - gas jets are cheating) that good cheer and benevolence just naturally follow. there are cso many trees, bushes and birds around Esther's round house out on Woodland Drive (just off 43 and Lincoln Blvd.) that she says sometimes she feels as if she's living in a tree house, too...Esther hopes to keep the landscape in its natural state, in keeping with the rustic interior of the house (no paint has been used anywhere inside the house and only on one circular piece of wood on the front exterior......The unique thing about Esther's house is that a common wall forms both exterior and interior walls. "Sometimes two layers of stone were used," Esther …
