A TALE OF TWO BUILDINGS… 

TFA’s LIVE/Virtual Tours are back! This time, we’re going to Dive into Deco and compare different buildings with similar themes. Each week will focus on a new pair of buildings. Over the Top Art Deco: Terra Cotta City is the first in a 4-week series of Art Deco LIVE/Virtual tours from Tulsa Foundation for Architecture.  

THIS TOUR: 

TFA Guides Ellen Stanley and Tim Bracken will take us on an in-depth tour of two terra cotta-covered beauties: The Adams and the Pythian. Marty Newman will add his knowledge, opinions, and funny stories along the way.  

Your Tour Guides will be LIVE on the street. As a participant, you can ask questions and interact with the host as you explore Tulsa from the comfort of your sofa. Put your feet up, and come on a walking tour with us. 

These are VIRTUAL TOURS! We are live at the buildings, but you can watch from wherever you are, on whatever device you want.
