Description |
Reproduction, black and white photograph measuring 10" x 6" and depicting the Reeder Buildings in Tulsa, OK, as they appeared between 1907 and 1913. Tulsa City offices were housed in the Reeder Building, located at 123 South Boston Avenue, before City Hall was built. The five story building was the Reeder Hotel, located at 115 South Boston Avenue. The view is looking northeast at the intersection of East 2nd Street and South Boston Avenue. Dr. Charles L. Reeder financed the construction of the Reeder Building, located on the northeast corner of the intersection of 2nd Street and South Boston Avenue in Tulsa, OK. Excavation work for the building began May 3, 1905. G. W. Foresman served as the building contractor. The building, measuring 50 by 100 feet, contained four stories of pressed brick, trimmed with Silverdale and Carthage limestone. The first floor served as retail space, while the upper three floors contained office space. The first tenant, the Fidelity Trust Company, occupied the building on May 31, 1906 in the first-floor corner of the building. The Reeder Building featured several modern conveniences such as electric wiring, gas pipelines, wiring for telephones in each room, and connection to the 1st Street sewer main. |
