The Model Building was at 15 E. Choctaw, so the Fotosho was probably at either 13 or 17 Choctaw. Either address would have been almost across the street from what is now the Okla Theatre, and not far from the corner of Main Street. The whole block across from the Okla has been demolished, so the Fotosho’s building is gone. I haven’t been able to find any photos of the Fotosho, but here is a ca.1964 photo of the Model Building which shows part of the neighboring buildings, one of which once held the theater: McAlester community page at Facebook.
