Tulsa’s newest downtown residential project, 119 Downtown, will be having a Toast and Tour Thursday September 9th from 5-8pm. Tour the completed model unit and join Modern Tulsa for some champagne and light hors d’oeuvres. 119 East 6th Street.
From 119 Downtown promotional material:
119 Downtown has quite a history. The architect of the historic Arco building, soon to be known as 119 Downtown, was Leon Bishop Senter, FAIA (1889-1965). 119 was completed in May 1950. It has been placed on the Tulsa Historical Walking Tour. The first floor exterior was finished with 1,200 square feet, or about 90,000 pounds, of Cold Spring Diamond Gray granite from Minnesota. The lobby of 119 downtown, which will be preserved during the renovation, was hand crafted with many different marbles. The entrance vestibules are of Vert Champdepraz from France. The walls of the lobby are of Italian marbles. Loredo, Chiaro, or Breccia Aurora, from Lombardy, and trim of Red Alberato from near Verona.

The modern tulsa committee met last night to discuss a variety of things, primarily propelling our group forward. Attendees were Shane Hood, Derek Lee, Rex Brown, Nick Rhoades, Jenny Hall and Cole Cunningham. We kicked back at the new office space of Tepera|Hood design, which happens to be the old Pemco gas station on 11th street. It seemed very appropriate given the nature of our group and has a great view of the recently restored Meadow Gold sign.
Topics we discussed included the redesign of our website, a logo mark and a catchy slogan for our group. Nothing has been decided so if you have input feel free to comment. We also have an event on the near horizon so prepare yourselves. Details will be announced very soon! In the meantime enjoy this cool pic of Shane’s new office.
