Philtower Building, Art Deco skyscraper in downtown Tulsa, US.

The 24-floor Philtower Building rises 323 feet into the Tulsa skyline with its English Gothic Revival design and colored Imperial shingle-tiled sloping roof.

Architect Edward Buehler Delk designed the Philtower Building in 1928 for oil entrepreneur Waite Phillips during the economic growth of downtown Tulsa.

The building features an Italian-crafted lobby with stone rosettes, fan-vaulted ceilings, custom chandeliers, and travertine marble floors and walls.

Located at 427 South Boston Avenue, the Philtower Building combines office spaces in the lower levels with residential lofts from floors 12 through 20.

The building served as an income source for the Boy Scouts of America from 1941 to 1977 after Waite Phillips donated it to support Philmont Ranch.
