Oklahoma City KEY - Cover Story

dining Visitors to Oklahoma City should take the opportunity to get a true taste of Oklahoma at Rawhide. Following extensive renovation, Rawhide is home in Downtown Oklahoma City in the 1007 N Broadway building, which was built in 1918 and originally home to a Cadillac dealership. The restoration brought back the original facade shown in old photos, including the wide windows used by the newly opened Rawhide in the same fashion storefronts displayed goods a half-century ago. Rawhide owner Angie Bailey kept the unfinished interior walls exposed, and added a rustic feel to the rear of the store by covering the wall with 30-year-old unpainted wood siding. One hundred years later, the building has been returned to what it once was.

Everyone who walks into Rawhide will immediately notice a strong sense of comfort, style and tradition. The warmth of the ranch lifestyle is apparent in every detail of the store and the products being sold. Make no mistake, this isn't a bunkhouse look. Rawhide is clearly a reflection of the sophisticated buyers seeking quality and artistry. Most of the products are made USA by quality craftsman each unique in their trade. The look is classic and elegant, sophisticated and rugged, rustic yet refined.

Also evident at Rawhide is the artistry of skilled designer/owner Angie Bailey who offers design services to help you achieve your vision of the rustic life, whether it be in an urban setting or on the ranch.
