City of Tulsa
INCOG

Tourism  
Evidence of the city's onetime oil pre-eminence is an impressive collection of 1920s buildings and Italianate mansions, including Union Depot and the elaborate Philtower and Philcade buildings downtown. Among the classic homes that are worth seeing are Harwelden Mansion, a 30-room, four-level Tudor-Gothic home listed on the National Register; the Jacobean Revival McBirney Estate, now a bed-and-breakfast but still open to visitors; and Westhope, which was designed in 1929 by Frank Lloyd Wright for one of his cousins. You should also be sure to see Boston Avenue United Methodist Church, an impressive art-deco skyscraper that just happens to be a house of worship.

Tulsa city hall due for make over


Tulsa city hall due for make over

The moving of city hall in 2008 was contentious, but was framed as beneficial to the city. In 2010 this may be coming true as new development plans for the old building take shape, alongside wider plans to recreate the downtown experience.

It was first reported in 2007 that the city council would be moved to a new City Hall and that the old City Hall building would be sold.
