Craig County Courthouse Construction 1920's
 
Submitted by: Mike Rightmire

In about 1920, my grandfather (Norris Harbison) and his father (Joe Harbsion) were carpenters employed by a contractor building a courthouse in Vinita, Ok.  I was reviewing some old photos from my grandparents estate and discovered two that might be of interest to you.  The first is a landscape of the partially completed project.  In my grandfather’s hand, it is captioned “Court House, Vinita”.  The second is a group photo of the construction crew assembled on the entry steps. 

My grandfather is the young man at far right end of the second row who appears to be looking in the wrong direction.  What can I say?  I have later photos of Joe, but I can’t identify him in this picture.  Maybe someone from Craig county will recognize some of the other men.
