The Philcade Building is at the corner of 5th and Boston in downtown Tulsa. It was built by Tulsa Oilman Waite Phillips (brother to Phillip’s 66 founder Frank Phillips). Construction started in 1929 and finished in 1931. It was designed by Leon B. Senter of the Tulsa architectual firm Smith and Senter.<\/p>\n

It seems that the Philtower building across the street gets most of the recognition but I prefer the Philcade building because of the elegant arcades on the first floor. The first two floors were built as retail space.
\"\"<\/a> The first floor is very attractive from the street level and at one time there were many retail stores. The storefronts were converted to office space but are slowly being reconverted back to shops as Tulsa downtown seems to be coming back with all devlelopment and construction going on.

\"\"<\/a> The interior is stunning. I worked in downtown Tulsa for nearly 16 years before I first walked in. There is lots of gold leaf and the owners of the building keep it in immaculate condition. They will also let you wander around the first floor, look, and take pictures as much as you please, ” please feel free” a security guard told me.<\/p>\n
