Further research reveals the UPTOWN was converted into office space in late 1955. Today it is used as a medical research laboratory.
Architect for the UPTOWN Theater was positively W.H. SCHUMACHER, as documented by the Daily Oklahoman Newspaper c1940. My lost notes have finally been located!
Again I must eat incorrect information reported by myself; Hill, Sorey, and Hill were not the architects of the UPTOWN Theater. Unfortunately I can’t at this time locate my notes as to whom the official architect was. It may have been Robert Shumacher, but I’m not sure.
Architectural firm of HILL, SOREY, and HILL designed the UPTOWN. This same team collaborated on the BISON and MAYFLOWER.
