Joseph Foucart—Foucart Building

Joseph Foucart designed this building in Guthrie, Oklahoma, that was built in 1891 in the Romanesque Revival with Gothic Revival influences architectural style. This building actually housed Foucart’s office in the third-floor tower from 1893 to 1897. “These were among Foucart’s most productive years as an architect in the growing Territorial capital’s business district. As his office site and because the native sandstone edifice emphasizes his distinctive style, the structure became known by his name rather than that of the builder.” The building was actually built by Edward T. Patten to house the Boston Store, which sold dry goods. Several other retail stores called this building home through the years.
