  • Oklahoma Built: a Bibliography of Information Sources on Oklahoma’S Built Environment Susan Bobo Oklahoma State University, [email protected]
    Library Faculty Projects Architecture School Oklahoma State University Year Oklahoma built: a bibliography of information sources on Oklahoma’s built environment Susan Bobo Oklahoma State University, [email protected] This paper is posted at E-Archive@Oklahoma State University. http://e-archive.library.okstate.edu/arch/1 I N T R O D U C T I O N Welcome to Oklahoma Built: a compendium of published research, archival materials and links to organizations that highlight the richness and diversity of Oklahoma’s built environment. At its core is a bibliography of more than 600 entries – books, articles, internet links and more – on the people, places and buildings of architectural interest in our state. From sod houses and ‘shotguns’ to a unique skyscraper and the prairie palaces of oil tycoons; from Victorian to Art Deco to Mid-Century Modern, Oklahoma Built aims to cover it all. In the spring of 2006, anticipating an increase in patron requests due to the approaching Centennial, I set out to develop a comprehensive resource on Oklahoma’s built environment for the benefit of students, researchers and interested citizens alike. In addition to books and articles, I identified unpublished reports, video and film, organizations, image collections, and websites – in short, any relevant information sources on the topic. The scope of Oklahoma Built is broad - covering both the historic and the recent in equal measure. This balance is deliberate. The group Preservation Oklahoma ranks “Our Recent Past” as #2 on its annual list of Oklahoma’s most endangered public places. Oklahoma Built is also broadly defined - covering not only what is traditionally thought of as “Architecture with a capital A,” but the entire spectrum of the built environment as well.

  • The Power of Endowment SIMPLE
    O K LAHOMA CITY COMMUNI TY FOUNDATI ON 2006 ANNUAL REPORT The Power of Endowment SIMPLE. FLEXIBLE. FOREVER. JOHN E. KIRKPATRICK 1908-2006 John Kirkpatrick was most of all a man of very generous spirit. He cared about the welfare of people and organizations and contributed in ways that he thought would encou rage opportunity and the chance to succeed. He already had a private foundation in the mid 1960s when he asked his attorney friend, Don ellisonison, to research the idea of a commu nity foundation. Mr. Kirkpatrick thought that it could provide an opportunity for other donors to m ake gifts as well as serve as a more flexible vehicle for h is own giving. In 1969 he and Ellison incorporated the Oklahoma City Community Foundation. While they enlisted other community leaders like Dean McGee, Harvey Everest and Babe Eddie to serve on the board, the new community foundation was clearly "john Kirkpatrick's project." "l think he was the only one who really understood what he was trying to do," said a bank trust officer. But john Kirkpatrick gave the new community foundation more than just a vision. He contributed generously in those first few years, he encouraged his friends and colleagues to establish funds, and he offered to match gifts for endowment funds for charities. He nurtured the organization's administrative needs, led its board for the first IO years, and provided the long term oversight that allowed the concept of the "community's endowment" to be established and to thrive. When this organization moved from Mr.
