Tulsa, Oklahoma Skyline from Lookout Mountain (Red Fork Hill), July, 1967.
At the time of this photograph in 1967, Tulsa was on the cusp of two economic forces that would have been difficult to foresee. First, the city’s long dominance of the oil industry was just beginning to wane. Second, the city was on the cusp of a major downtown building boom. In the ensuing decades, much changed. Tulsa lost its leadership in the oil industry to far larger Houston by the 1980’s; but, as its economy diversified to aerospace, finance, and technology, the Tulsa skyline continued its upward growth. In this image the newly constructed thirty-story Fourth National Bank tower completely blocks what was Tulsa’s second highest building for decades, the twenty-four story Philtower. Tulsa’s tallest structure, the First National Bank at left, was also exceeded in height by the Fourth National Bank. Many more skyscrapers were to come that would completely change the look of this city by the next time I set up my camera on Lookout Mountain. In 1967, Tulsa’s metropolitan statistical area population was just under 500,000, while today this metric stands at just over one million. This image was made on Kodak film with a Yashica J-5 SLR equipped with a 90-230mm f4.5 Yashinon zoom lens at 230mm.
