Robert Self 1972 -

Albert S. Maidt came to Oklahoma City when he was 6 years old, when his father made the run in 1889. The family homestead was part of what is now Lincoln Park. He founded the Maidt Plastering Company in 1903 and operated the company for over 50 years. Evidences of the fine work done by the company can be seen about the city: Civic Center, the Frank Buttram house, First National Bank building, the Leo Sanders house, and the Maidt house at 621 N.E. 16th Street.
