Summary
editDescriptionBoston Avenue United Methodist Church, Boston Avenue and 13th Street, Tulsa, OK - 53705314696.jpg |
English: Built in 1927-1929, this Art Deco-style building was designed by Bruce Goff and Adah Robinson for the congregation of Boston Avenue United Methodist Church, organized in 1893 as a part of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The building was originally surrounded by a mixed residential and commercial neighborhood, which, in the time since, has eroded away, leaving it surrounded by vacant green space, a freeway, and surface parking lots, an underwhelming setting for such an amazing edifice. However, it is not far from the middle of Downtown Tulsa, full of excellent examples of architecture from around the same time.
The building, regarded as one of the best Art Deco-style religious structures in the world, features a limestone-clad exterior, a gray granite base, a 225 foot (68 meter) tall tower with a metal and glass pinnacle and a copper-clad roof, geometric motifs, pinnacles, stylized sculptures and reliefs created by sculptor Robert Garrison, prow windows, metal-fame casement windows, stone piers with Art Deco-style geometric light fixtures flanking the steps at the main entrances, and a semi-circular facade on the exterior of the sanctuary. The church was expanded with a lower Postmodern-style addition to the east in 2002, known as the Jubilee Center. The large 40,000 square foot addition defers to the original building in its lower stature, as well as its limited contact with the original building, via a narrow lobby with glass curtain walls at either end. Today, the church remains in use by its original congregation. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1999. The building is a particular standout example of Art Deco in Tulsa, a city with a significant collection of high-quality architecture from the 1920s and 1930s, when the city grew rapidly in wealth and population, in response to the discovery of oil in the area. |
