Towering over the Tulsa Skyline
Executive Restroom
Convenient, but please watch your step. And be careful during gusty winds.
As Tulsa’s First Presbyterian Church continues it’s expansion.

Ruby Tuesday – Cranes and Fire
The view from my office building in downtown Tulsa with my favorite crane and a fire in the hills of Osage County to the north of downtown. Surprisingly and fortunately the fire was put out in relatively short order.
Our World – One Place Tower
Maybe the economy is getting a little better?
I’ve been taking pictures of a bright red crane that is helping to build a new building in downtown Tulsa.
It is for a new multi-use development called “One Place.” It will have an 18 story office tower, a 120 room hotel, loft apartments, and room for restaurants and such.
The crane is 325 feet tall and the mast extends 196 feet. It can lift 15,000 to 20,000 pounds depending how far out the load is on the mast.
It is nice to have new money being spent downtown.
I wish the design would be a little more imaginative. In a city core loaded with art deco treasures and located across from the street from the Cesar Peli designed BOK Center, One Place will be a sea of beige.
The crane is cool though!
New Steeple
A couple weeks ago a blog friend here in Oklahoma emailed me with a heads up that the First Presbyterian Church of Tulsa was putting up their new steeple in downtown Tulsa.
I had to go check it out. For an economic downturn going on Tulsa sure has lots of projects going on. I try and sidewalk supervise all of them but there is only so much that one guy can do. So I need all the help I can get.
My friend told me that her husband would most likely be the guy at the top bolting the steeple onto its base. I think this may be him. I hope that he was appreciating the daytime moon while he was working. Actually I bet that he pretty much concentrates on his job and lets us desk jockeys worry about composing the shot.
This is from the church’s web site showing what it is going to look like when they are done.
