About the Philtower
Perhaps more than any other building in Tulsa, the Philtower Building figured in the major decisions affecting the oil and gas industry in the United States. This was particularly true through the 1950s, when many of the most influential of the industry’s leaders were either tenants in or visitors to the Philtower.
The building was built in 1927 and also has architectural significance. It represents the late Gothic Revival style embellished with Art Deco details. Among its notable features are a magnificent first-floor lobby with unique chandeliers; and a broad second-floor mall and two gargoyles above the Boston Avenue entrance. The generous use of mahogany, brass and marble throughout the building is also striking.
The Philtower was considered strategic in both time and location. It was to have been the link in architectural magnificence between the then-proposed Union Train Station at the north end of Boston Avenue, and the soaring Boston Avenue Methodist Church on the south. The building stands much as when it opened in 1928. Its strikingly colorful, sloping, shingle-tiled roof still spots the blue night with checkers of yellow. More information at www.philtower.com
