The former Central High School building, now occupied by the Tulsa offices of Public Service of Oklahoma, one of the state’s largest electric utilities, is seen in this photograph taken from the Philtower Building two blocks away on a rainy March day in 1966.
Many changes too numerous to list were made to the exterior during the renovation following PSO’s purchase of the structure which occupies an entire city block between Sixth and Seventh Streets on the north and south and Cincinnati and Detroit Streets on the east and west. In addition to the name change over the entrance, the front steps were eliminated, and large brick planters were added on the north sidewalk. Large grade-level windows were installed where once there had been raised lawn areas adjacent to the building. In this image the air and light shafts at the center of the building are clearly visible, as well as the dividing line between the north and south halves of the structure, which were constructed at different times as the Tulsa Public School District grew. Partially obscuring the north side of the school is the Tulsa Auto Hotel, now razed and used as a parking lot for Trinity Episcopal Church.
A 200mm f3.5 Steinheil Tele-Quinar lens on a Yashica J-5 SLR camera was used to make this image on Kodak film.
