Description
North elevation looking west.
The Harper Building was a preventorium for children infected with tuberculosis, but who did not have an active form of the disease. A preventorium was defined by the Committee of Preventoria of the National Tuberculosis Association as a 24-hour institution for the care and observation of children substandard in health.
The children's building was named for J. B. Harper, the Democratic state representative from Talihina who served as the Speaker of the Oklahoma House of Representatives from 1925 to 1927. Following his term as state representative, Harper was elected state senator from the 21st Senatorial District.
