The Tulsa Municipal Building is a neoclassical building that served as the city of Tulsa's city hall from 1917 until 1969.

History

In 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 Rush, Endacott, and Rush.[2] The building was first occupied in 1917, finished construction in 1919 and was the seat of city government until 1969.[3][4] The building was vacant between 1969 and 1973, when it was renovated by architect Joe Coleman.[1][3] In 1975, the building was the second building in Tulsa listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[3][2]
