An Oklahoma City building has just been added to a National Registry of Historic Places.
It s the official end to a heated debate that looked like a long shot from the start for those trying to save the place.
At first, it appeared the only thing to gain in trying to save the Brockway Center was a huge lawsuit.
In May 2019, the 100-year-old building at 1440 N Everest Avenue was slated for demolition.
The CARE Center next door, which helps abused children, was using the space for expansion.
Oklahoma City Councilwoman Nikki Nice got the word out.
The building called the Brockway Center served as a meeting place for an African American women s group.
