Call Rex Watkinson and tell him to find another buyer....the bankruptcy court needs to unload it. The building has negative value so the court needs to throw some cash in with the sale release.
Stupid old building. Carltonplace, you da man.
Geez, the last thing I want is for this wonderful Bruce Goff original to be demolished. I want it to regain it place in Tulsa's pantheon and be a place I can visit. |

Tulsa fire crews find homeless man dead in old Oral Roberts University building's elevator shafthttp://www.kjrh.com/dpp/news/local_news/tulsa-fire-crews-find-homeless-man-dead-in-old-oral-roberts-university-buildings-elevator-shaftTULSA - A homeless man is dead following an accident at an abandoned building near downtown Tulsa.
According to officials, it happened shortly after 5 on Thursday morning at the old Oral Roberts University Abundant Life Building at 17th and Boulder.
Investigators told 2NEWS at the scene two homeless men got into an unlocked door in the rear of the multi-story building and one fell into an empty elevator shaft and died.
His friend walked to a nearby convenience store and called 911.
The men were apparently looking for shelter from the cold and wind.
The building has been vacant for more than a decade.

That is terrible. It's time for the city to demand abatement on this property. I know this place probably can't burn to the ground, but it is a hazard as it is. |

Another Tulsa Club Snaghttp://kwgs.com/post/another-tulsa-club-snag More problems for the troubled Tulsa Club! The city’s effort to sell the dilapidated downtown building has hit another snag.
The building’s owner has filed for bankruptcy which puts the city’s efforts on hold. The building was yanked off a sheriff’s sale last year after another last minute legal maneuver.
The building has been declared a public nuisance because of code violations and numerous fires.

Anyone else think this thread should've gone in an entirely different direction long ago?
It amazes me the Club building is getting closer to being surface parking and the Abundant Life is still standing and is killing people.

Per Tulsa Preservation Commission FB post: Guess who's coming to Auction? The Tulsa Club Building is rescheduled for Sheriff's Sale on April 16th at 10:00 am. We can't wait to see this beautiful Bruce Goff building rehabbed and back in action! Art Deco Buildings in Tulsa Tulsa Club Building 115 East 5th Street Built: 1927  This eleven-story building was designed by Bruce Goff. It was built through the joint effort of the Tulsa Chamber of Commerce and the Tulsa Club. The first five floors of the building were occupied by the Chamber and other business organizations while the top six floors and the roof garden were inhabited by the Tulsa Club. The Tulsa Club contained dormitory rooms on the sixth floor and a men’s lounge on the eighth floor. The club also had a gymnasium and barber shop. The club’s interior had Art Deco ornamentation including fireplace tiles. Built of Bedford stone, the original 5th Street entrance was designed with abstract detailing above the doorway. |

Anyone been inside lately? I wonder how much is still there? The fact that it had/has dormotories makes it seem a natural candidate for new living spaces. |

I was in it a few years ago. Much original flooring, trim, and accent remains. However... much needs to be improved. Probably more original remaining in this building than was in the Mayo Hotel.

Good news.
Given the owner's history of playing the system, I wouldn't get too excited until the auction actually occurs. |

What a beautiful building that was!
Reminds me of the old Rialto and Orpheum theaters downtown. By the time they were torn down, they were ragged a lot like this one. This actually looks worse...
This kind of thing is exactly why I should win one of those hundred million dollar lotteries...I would start restoring that place. But then, there are thousands of places just like it....
A magnificent source of old lead paint. Just dissolve in some isopropyl alchohol, and I bet it could be recoated to look like new! Plus, a convenient place for kids to chew on some paint!!

I don’t share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently. I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.
