Preservation Oklahoma NEWS Preservation Oklahoma January 2017 NEWS Volume XXIII, Issue 2 The joint publication of the State Historic Preservation Office and Preservation Oklahoma, Inc. PRESERVATION50 EXHIBIT AVAILABLE FOR DISPLAY On October 15, 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the National Historic Preservation Act (the Act) into law. It and its amendments established the structure and mechanisms for treatment of the Nation’s archeological and historic properties, including creation of the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP), authorization of the Historic Preservation Fund (HPF), and provision for State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPO). The Oklahoma Historical Society, through its SHPO and partner agencies and organizations, is participating in Preservation50, the national celebration of the Act’s 50th anniversary this year. Part of this celebration includes a traveling exhibit that highlights the Act’s impact on Oklahoma. Preservation Oklahoma is pleased to announce that this exhibit is now available to local communities! It features photos of buildings and structures listed on the NRHP and provides information on why the Act is important to preserving Oklahoma’s historic resources. The exhibit consists of five retractable banners that can be easily assembled and displayed. The exhibit is free of charge thanks to a generous grant from the State Historic Preservation Office. The exhibit will be delivered, set up, and picked up—all you have to provide is the space! A presentation on the Act is also available and can be scheduled to coincide with the opening of the exhibit. We suggest the exhibit be scheduled for a two- week presentation.

As oil prices, hemlines and the stock market were on the rise across the nation, so too were large-scale, high-rise buildings in places like Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Enid and McAlester. The basic technology of steel frame construction had been worked out in larger metropolitan areas such as Chicago and New York City and with the invention of the modern elevator, buildings measuring more than 6 floors were starting to take shape in Oklahoma. With the prosperity of the 1920s, Oklahoma skylines changed dramatically. Most high rises were developed and constructed in the 1920s while others did not see completion until the 1930s. All were once the tallest building in their respective cities and some still hold that distinction. The 1950s saw another boom of skyscraper construction surpassing the older skyscraper of the 1920s. Tulsa examples are internationally known examples of the Art Deco style while many of the others identified in the state are classically designed buildings of the 1920s and 1930s. The 1950s saw a rise in modern styles from International in Oklahoma City to Wrightian in both Bartlesville and Oklahoma City. No matter what decade the buildings were constructed, they often had the most lavish interiors with the finest materials available at the time. The larger Oklahoma cities have more than one building of this type. However, many of the smaller communities have them as well. We are featuring historic images of 10 buildings from the state and have drawn the line at Philtower, Tulsa. Photo: OHS. buildings of 10 or more stories. Smaller communities such as Shawnee have buildings that measure just under 10 stories-heights that would have been unbuildable in most places just a few years earlier.
