122-126 A St NE - Ardmore Historic Commercial District - Ardmore, OK - NRHP Historic Districts - Contributing Buildings on Waymarking.com

While the National Register's Registration Form (see Optional link) lists this and other properties at A St NE, today, the street is noted as "Caddo St NE" on signs. The Registration Form dates this commercial style building to about 1915 -- "1913" is on the parapet -- and provides some background:

This one-story, painted brick, flat-roofed building has three storefronts. The southernmost storefront has three, large, fixed, metal, opaque, display windows under a flat metal awning. The transom area remains above the awning. The middle storefront has a centrally located, glazed, paneled, overhead, garage door with a single, wood, glazed, paneled door to the north. A small transom area remains over a possibly bricked-in opening to the south of the overhead door. The transom above the door is a non-original decorative window with small panes of stained glass. The awnings from the adjacent storefronts extend over the southern bricked area and the northern door. The northernmost storefront is larger than the other two with a single, non-original, wood door on the far south and triple, fixed, display, opaque windows filling the remainder of the storefront. The storefront is topped by a flat awning and the transom area above remains visible. The upper wall of the building is ornamented with painted brick tables above each storefront. Centrally located above the southern two storefronts is a projected stone nameplate which is not readily readable.

It's hard to make out from a Google Street View from 2008, when the building was painted black, but that stone nameplate looks to have simply gotten a good cleaning since then, as opposed to possibly having been brought in from another building when restoration was going on here on this block. The awnings and stained glass are long gone, as is the wooden door from the storefront at the north end.
