The Stillwater Police Dept. moved into this building at 723 South Lewis in 1939. The website for the Police Dept. has a great write-up of their history as well as a welcome from the Chief.
Just to the right of the entrance to the police dept. (on the west side of the building) is a garden and memorial to Michaele Henson, a three time mayor and community leader.
An excerpt from the History tab:
Prior to Oklahoma statehood in 1907, Federal Marshals out of Guthrie, a City Marshal, and a night watchmen provided protection for Stillwater citizens. It was not until the late 1920’s that plans were put in place for Stillwater’s first Police Department.
