More than a century of El Reno history has passed through the Anheuser-Busch building at Babcock and Woodson Avenue.

The former beer distribution center has seen the days of the bordello and the speak-easy. Now, thanks to its present owner, Billie Wilds, the second floor has been reborn as the Anheuser Apartments.

The space above what was once Average Joes Clothes has been fully remodeled, boasting four one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments with a touch of classic elegance and modern detail.
