Today’s Most Endangered Location is the Bert McCarty Furniture Building in Ponca City. It was built in 1920 and is a contributing structure for the Downtown Ponca City Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places. It’s a two-story stucco-clad building with two storefronts. In 1909, Bert McCarty purchased a furniture business he had previously worked in, later adding undertaking as well. Around 1920, he took over this building and moved his businesses there. It’s endangered because it’s rapidly deteriorating due to a leaking roof, falling rear facade and asbestos. If it is lost, it will be a large missing piece in historic downtown Ponca City.
