Here is the location as it appears today. Mr. raybradley, the building across the street now known as Chickasha Mall was originally S.H. Kress store.

Joe Vogel,the “McDonald’s” that occupies the site of the Sugg is not a retail outlet, but was the corporate office of Harold Jackson the owner of the McDonald’s franchise in Chickasha. The name was changed to Washita in 1935 and was destroyed by fire Dec 27, 1939 and was never rebuilt. The actual address would be about 110 South 4th. The gray building on the right side of the picture is the Petroleum Building which is on the SW corner of 4th and Chickasha Ave.

There is no 390 Chickasha Ave, don’t matter what Google Earth says. The Sugg was in the 100 block of South 4th right behind the Petroleum Building. I am ot sure of the year of the name change to Washita Theater, but it did burn down in 1939. The new Washita Theater was bilt in the 500 block of Chickasha Ave and is still there. The Wagner Opera House was and the building still is on the NE corner of 4th and Chickasha.
