The J. Coody Johnson Building, at 124 N. Wewoka St. in Wewoka, Oklahoma, was built in 1916. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.[1]
It was deemed significant for its association with J. Coody Johnson, a grandson of slaves to the Creek Nation who became a Howard University-educated lawyer and who represented the Creek Nation before the U.S. Supreme Court.[2]
In 1916, he had this two-story building on Wewoka Street built to house his law office. It later held offices of the Black Panther Oil Company, the first black-owned petroleum company in Oklahoma.[2]
It is a two-story, 24 by 60 feet (7.3 m × 18.3 m), commercial building with a parapeted, sloped roof. It has brick finished walls, with brick laid in running bond on three sides and common bond on the rear.[2]
The building was built by Witherspoon & Woods,[2] a builder active in Oklahoma at the time.[3]
