Tulsa Club Building, Art Deco building in Oil Capital Historic District, Tulsa, United States.
The Tulsa Club Building is an 11-story structure at Cincinnati Avenue and Fifth Street featuring steel framework and limestone exterior with zigzag geometric patterns. The facade displays classic Art Deco details through its decorative brickwork and window arrangements.
The building was constructed in 1927 by architect Bruce Goff as a home for the Tulsa Chamber of Commerce and the Tulsa Club, housing both organizations in separate sections. It became a center of commerce and civic activity during Tulsa's oil boom era.
The rooftop garden became the birthplace of the barbershop quartet singing movement in America, a musical tradition that still thrives today. This space carries the memory of that first gathering.
The structure now operates as a 96-room hotel with event spaces and a ballroom available for gatherings. Its location in the Oil Capital Historic District makes it easily accessible for visitors exploring the downtown area.
After decades of abandonment and surviving multiple fires, the structure underwent a major restoration that brought back its original design details and structural integrity. This rescue project prevented the loss of a significant downtown landmark.
