Title: This Was Just Torn Down Post by: patric on August 09, 2014, 03:22:11 pm ...that could be a catchy thread title (hint, hint) for stuff mysteriously demolished around town.
Lets get started. This was torn down on 21st Street across from Atlanta Pl. (across the street from the former dirty dentist). http://tinyurl.com/n55ztn3 Anyone know what's going in its place? Im sure we need another bank, 'cause its too small for a casino...

Wonder if they will keep the walmart-style parking? Title: Re: This Was Just Torn Down Post by: rdj on August 11, 2014, 08:18:49 am Citizens Security Bank.

Two of my favorite architectural features. Ginormous, weirdly heavy cornices, and the ubiquitous square "turret" appendage thingy.

Now, on to 15th & Delaware: https://goo.gl/maps/SxUB7ezdXQ42 The last time I was in that building, it needed a complete overhaul, but structurally looked good. All of those buildings had suffered from a lot of deferred maintenance over the years. Too bad the new owners couldn’t figure out a way to work that into their project. I believe this is a bank branch going in, isn’t it? Title: Re: This Was Just Torn Down Post by: takemebacktotulsa on October 02, 2015, 12:56:28 pm To their credit, the did pretty good, lighting-wise.

Now, on to 15th & Delaware: https://goo.gl/maps/SxUB7ezdXQ42 I've heard from neighbors that it's just going to be a parking lot for that pain center across the street... Title: Re: This Was Just Torn Down Post by: Conan71 on October 03, 2015, 08:41:51 am I've heard from neighbors that it's just going to be a parking lot for that pain center across the street... What a wasted opportunity on that property to go from a pedestrian oriented development with parking in the back to a large surface lot which will never be full. Not even on TU game days unless they were offering shuttle service. I bucking hate seas of surface parking.

15th and Delaware (https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5814/21980946011_a7de6f0db3_n.jpg) Title: Re: This Was Just Torn Down Post by: patric on October 14, 2015, 09:39:40 am I've heard from neighbors that it's just going to be a parking lot for that pain center across the street... That might be what the two recently demolished residences to the north might be. I can appreciate the building might have been far from pristine, but was it comparable to any of the asbestos-laden warehouses that are now a part of the downtown resurgence? |
