Photograph used for a story in the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. Caption: "The once-proud 10-story Huckins Hotel became a two-story pile of rubble Sunday morning in no more time than it would take you to knock down a row of Dominoes. The 62-year-old building, which once served as the state capitol, was the first structure in Oklahoma City to be demolished by the controlled-explosives process. "It was a perfect shot," said John D. "Jack" Loizeaux, the man who pushed the button to set off more than 200 pounds of explosives in 260 charges. Fire Marshal E. L. Buddy Koch agreed... (photo tag: Nothing but rubble remains of the Huckins, once Oklahoma's capitol and the proudest hotel in the area.)"

The Huckins, which served briefly as the state capitol in its early history, was demolished Sunday as part of the city's urban renewal effort. Times Photographer Bob Albright was there."
