==History==
In 1919, Milton C. Garber, then mayor of Enid, and his commissioner aides, G. W. Pancoast and Jason W. Butts, proposed a bond issue for the construction of a building to memorialize the efforts of Garfield County soldiers in World War I.〔McKiddy, J.H., "(ENID One of Oklahoma's Fairest and Most Progressive Cities )", ''The Frisco Employes Magazine'', September 1924〕 Sealed bids were accepted until September 1, 1919 on bonds of $250,000 for the construction of the convention hall.〔''Municipal Journal & Public Works'', Volume 47, No 8., page 28〕〔''Industrial employment survey bulletin'', Volumes 1-2, United States Employment Service, page 20〕 The building was constructed at a cost of $500,000 with an original capacity of 5,000.〔 It was designed by the architectural firm Layton, Smith and Forsyth and constructed by Bass and Frankenfield Builders. It served as a meeting place for the Enid Chamber of Commerce.〔 The hall served as a venue for stage productions including plays such as Hitchy-Koo and Al G. Field minstrel shows〔 and for musicians such as John Philip Sousa, Ernestine Schumann-Heink, Bob Wills, and Fred Waring.〔 President George Bush spoke at the venue while campaigning in 1992.
