History
editIn 1915, the city of Tulsa passed a bond for construction of a new municipal building.[1] The building was designed in the neoclassical style by Joe Bruce. The building was first occupied in 1917, finished construction in 1919 and was the seat of city government until 1969.[2][3] The building was vacant between 1969 and 1973, when it was renovated by architect Joe Coleman.[1][2] In 1975, the building was the second building in Tulsa listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[2][4]
