Welcome to 1621 and 1619 NW 15th st., Oklahoma City, OK. These first glimpses of the units are unpolished. They are the begining of an exciting journey of renewal for this house that I plan on making into a home.

I will be updating this as often as possible. It's slow going, but it's coming along. I am excited!
