1. Bristow Concrete Walk Marker
In 1895 a concrete walk was installed by the City of Bristow across Main Street at 7th Street. The sloping sides allow the wagons to cross the walk. When Main Street was paved in 1915 the walk was removed. Both the installation and removal were done by Clay Chapman, a local teamster. This portion of the original cross walk was donated by the Chapman heirs.
Installed Nov. 1, 1980
Erected 1980 by Clay Chapman Family and Krumme Oil Company.
