Joseph Foucart—Victor Block

Joseph Foucart designed this beautiful three-story building that was built in 1893 in Guthrie, Oklahoma, in the Richardsonian Romanesque architectural style. The brick and stone building has “a beveled corner entrance, with a long oriel window above on the 2nd and 3rd floors. There is an exposed basement that can be reached through a stairwell off the sidewalk. There is decorative brickwork around all the arched windows on the south and east sides. The first level has large storefronts with multi-light clerestories above.” The building was rehabilitated in 1982 and currently houses shops, a bed and breakfast, and a restaurant. Foucart was clearly extremely talented and a master at his work.
