The Blacksmith Shop
The blacksmith shop as it appeared in about 1906
The original owner of the blacksmith shop was Edward Kloeckler. The wooden building Kloeckler built in 1903 burned in 1920 and was replaced by a metal building. The metal building at right changed hands 13 times before Harold Powell bought it in 1978. Mr. Powell donated the shop to the Temple Museum Association in 1999. Temple, Oklahoma |
