     History
    Founded in 1884 by Jacob C. Lingle, the town of Lingleville originally covered a ten-block area. A post office was established in 1885, and by 1892 the community boasted stores, blacksmith shops, a mill, gin and three churches. Although bypassed by the railroad, the town thrived and soon included educational facilities and more businesses. Almost completely devastated by a downtown robbery and fire in 1901, the town rallied and rebuilt. The 1919 oil boom at the nearby Desdemona old field brought increased settlement and business to Lingleville.

    This building appears to be the bank that was robbed in 1901. Towards the back of the building is a large safe/vault that appears to still be in tact.
