Co-operative Publishing Company Building

The Co-operative Publishing Company Building is a historic building in Guthrie, Oklahoma, that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building was the home of the State Capitol newspaper from 1902 to 1911, and it replaced another building on the same site, which the paper had been using since 1890.
Founded on March 30, 1889, by Franklin Hilton Greer and initially located in Winfield, Kansas, the State Capital newspaper moved to Guthrie less than one month later, with the Land Rush of 1889, and changed from being a weekly to a daily. The first edition in Guthrie was published on April 22, 1889, and the State Capitol became "the first daily paper ever published in what is now Oklahoma". The paper was originally based at a different location in Guthrie, but in 1890 Greer moved the business into rented space in a building at Second and Harrison Streets—the site of the surviving building. As the newspaper's circulation grew, additional space was rented, and in 1897 the paper purchased the three-story building . After the building's top-floor occupant moved out in 1900, the newspaper/publishing company occupied the entire building, giving it a total of 10,000 square feet of floor space. Greer was soon employing up to one hundred people, and conducting business 24 hours a day, six days a week.
