First Courthouse is a historic area with Norman Regional Hospital.
Two neighborhoods home to hospital
First Courthouse is one of the older residential areas of Norman, Oklahoma, although it blends that residential aspect with a commercial corridor on Porter Avenue. Porter Avenue is also home to the Norman Regional Hospital, which is the second largest employer in the city. First Courthouse includes not just its namesake area, but also the neighbor of Old Silk Stockings, where the Moore-Lindsay Historical House Museum now sits. “It’s quite an old area. The home was built in 1899 and turned into a museum in 1975,” says Amy Pence, who has been the Museum Manager for five and a half years. “It’s beautiful and a prime example of what early upper middle class was like in Norman.”
Older homes in a variety of styles with a few Queen Anne’s
The housing style can range throughout the neighborhood. “There’s a decent amount of older homes,” says Pence. “But not enough to call it a historical district.” Most homes were built in the early 20th century, with ranch, ranch-style, bungalow and Craftsman homes a common sight. There are a few Victorian and Queen Anne’s as well, especially in the older homes. With an average price of $149,500, most homes begin around $120,000 for a two-bedroom bungalow and can reach $300,000 for a newly constructed Craftsman with three bedrooms. Homes often come with storm cellars in the backyard in preparation for tornados, as well as alleys located behind the home where trash pickup sometimes occurs. Sidewalks and walkability can vary from street to street, with some where homes are set further back from the sidewalk with mature trees covering the area. On others, the homes are closer together and to the street, with some on-street parking or small carports. According to the CAP Index, First Courthouse receives a crime score of 6.

Porter Avenue dining and half a mile for shopping
Driving down North Porter Avenue showcases businesses such as Boom-a-rang Diner, Gourmet Donut, Boomer Express, HTeaO and Braum’s Ice Cream and Dairy Store. “This side of town has more locally owned businesses,” says Pence. “The west side has more of the chain restaurants and businesses.” A Walmart Supercenter is about half a mile to the east, while Sprouts Farmers Market is about half a mile to the west of the neighborhood. In the Carriage Plaza Shopping Center, Cayman’s Clothiers sells women’s clothing and cosmetics.
The donuts offered by Gourmet Donut near First Courthouse are freshly made and delicious.

Several of the neighborhood churches will also have Sunday evening activities, such as book club at the Goodrich Memorial United Methodist Church.

Just across North Carter Avenue to the east, the Frances Cate Park offers outdoor options for the sport nut, with a fitness court for all types of exercise as well as spaces for soccer and basketball. Children can also explore the playground, crossing a small creek to reach the equipment. There is also a little pocket park by the Moore-Lindsay Historical House Museum with a gazebo, benches and tree coverage.

Residents of First Courthouse can take the bus travel to other area.
Interstate to the west and bus line along busy Porter
Interstate 35, a major north-south interstate, is about 3 miles to the west of the neighborhood. The bus line 121 comes through every 60 minutes and has stops along North Porter Avenue by the Norman Regional Hospital. “Porter Avenue is physically small but it’s a main north-south street,” Pence says.
