Tulsa federal building
Considering all the hysteria among some law enforcement that anyone with a camera is a menice to society, I must admit I did not linger long while shooting this photo of the federal building late one night in Tulsa. I was prepared to whisk out my bar card and explain that I am licensed and admitted to do business inside this building, but I doubt a security guard questioning some guy with a camera on a cold winter night would really care about that.
But…no one came. I guess I don’t look too threatening.
The building on Boulder Avenue was constructed in 1917 as a federal court house and post office. The post office has been removed, but the court and other federal offices occupy the structure now. It is a good example of neo-classical architecture with a limestone facade. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The ornate interior design is very impressive, but they don’t allow cameras there even when the building is open.
