TFA Haunting Halloween Bash: The Dresser Mansion
Join Us For a Frightful Fundraiser benefitting Tulsa Foundation for Architecture!
$135 | $101.25 | 7:30 – 11:00 PM | Friday, October 28th
Carl and Pauline Dresser’s Italian Renaissance Mansion located at 235 W. 18th St. was designed by New York architect Albert Joseph Bodker and built in 1919. Pauline Dresser had an eye for elegant things and hired a professional decorator to beautify the home’s interior. Her stylish home soon became the toast of Tulsa. The nearly 10,000 square foot mansion has many of the original features still intact, which earned The Dresser a spot on the National Register of Historic places in 2001. Once the scene of some of Tulsa’s most elegant and lavish parties, the mansion boasts five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, wood- beam ceilings, hardwood floors, six fireplaces, and a number of other distinctive features.
Join us in support of Tulsa Foundation for Architecture on Friday, October 28th, to celebrate All Hallows’ Eve in this 100+ year old historic mansion dripping with mystery and intrigue. For one night only, the mansion will come alive with a frightful celebration of the macabre.
Come adorned in your favorite costume and enjoy:
- A unique and hauntingly festive environment,

- Interactive performance – chat with mansion staff from years gone by to learn more about the history of this incredible property,
