Dowell Center, High-rise building in downtown Oklahoma City, United States.
The Dowell Center stretches 20 stories into the Oklahoma City skyline with a combination of Italian marble, Vermont marble, and terra cotta trim elements.
Built in 1927 as the Petroleum Building with 18 floors, the structure received a two-story addition during its 1964 renovation by the Kerr-McGee Corporation.
The building reflects the rapid urban development of Oklahoma City during the 1920s oil industry expansion, marking a period of economic growth.
Located at 134 Robert S. Kerr Avenue, the Dowell Center contains 205,000 square feet of office space adjacent to Kerr Park in central Oklahoma City.
The building introduced the first high-speed micro-leveling elevators in Oklahoma, operating at 700 feet per minute, setting new standards for vertical transportation.
