Former Prineville resident Lonnie Sikes created and donated three scaled-down models of historic Prineville buildings to the Crook County Courthouse
An amazing and unusual display graces the second level of the Crook County Courthouse.
A scaled model of three historic and iconic buildings in Prineville are now on display for the public to view; the Bowman Museum, the Crook County Courthouse, and the old Bank Drug building across from Bowman Museum. That building is now owned by Tanny Staffordson and houses Edward Jones Investments.
Lonnie Sikes, a former Prineville resident, crafted the replicas from his home in Southern California. Upon completion, Sikes sent out a plea on Facebook to see if there would be any interested takers of the completed models. Crook County Commissioner Jerry Brummer saw the post on Facebook.
