Hooker Woodframe Grain Elevator

The Hooker Woodframe Grain Elevator is a grain elevator in Hooker, Oklahoma. The elevator was built in 1926 by the Riffe & Gilmore Co. and operated by the Wheat Pool Elevator Company. Located along the Beaver, Meade and Englewood Railroad, which ran from the east at Beaver, Oklahoma to the west at Keyes, Oklahoma (northeast of Boise City),[2] the elevator served the local wheat industry. It was one of several built to compete with the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad elevators in the region.[3] The elevator was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 13, 1983[1] and is one of two National Register of Historic Places listings in Texas County, Oklahoma located around Hooker.
