First National Bank Building, Modern high-rise office building in downtown Tulsa, United States.
The First National Bank Building is a modern high-rise in downtown Tulsa standing 76 meters (249 feet) tall with 20 floors of commercial space. Its facade features clean geometric lines that give the structure a clear, unadorned appearance.
Architects Carson & Lundin designed this building in 1950 as a response to post-war economic growth in the United States. It was Tulsa's first modern high-rise after the city had gone without new skyscraper construction for more than two decades.
The building shapes the business district with its plain, functional form that reflects the commercial character of downtown. Its lines and size make it a familiar landmark for anyone moving through this part of Tulsa.
The building sits on East Fifth Street in the center and is easy to reach by car or foot. The area offers parking and public transit for visitors exploring the business district.
The building was the only skyscraper erected in Tulsa between 1928, when the 320 South Boston Building was completed, and 1960, when Boulder Towers West Tower went up. It was also the city's first modern-style high-rise, designed by Carson & Lundin.
