Project 180 streetscape renovations installed a series of destination markers throughout downtown Oklahoma City. The destination markers depict an aerial map with a small silver pin that denotes “you are here.” The outer ring of each destination marker highlights a local historic or pop culture event specific to the city. Historical significance: Just a block Southwest of this point is the site of the City’s first Public School Building built for that purpose. Washington School shared a name with the street it was situated on (now SW 2nd), both presumably named for the nation’s first president. Classes began in early 1895. This marker reads: Reno Avenue recognizes Ft. Reno, located 30 miles to the west. Founded in 1875, it housed units of the famed “Buffalo Soldiers”, the Black soldiers of the 9th and 10th Cavalry and the 24th and 25th Infantry, who helped maintain the peace before and after the Land Run.
