Like most central Oklahomans, I saw the Devon Tower on the horizon a long time before I ever went into it, or even before it was completed. To me, it represents the transformation of Oklahoma City into a destination city – I am sure that while it stands alone on the skyline now, it will soon be joined by others of equal or even greater height. To Oklahoma, I know that it represents oil, our most important export. From far away, it looks solid but its curves make it on surprisingly unimposing, and from close up its glass façade and nighttime lights give it fluidity and life. One of my friends is a bartender at the restaurant on the top floor of the tower, and he says that working in a place with such a commanding view of central Oklahoma serves as a reminder of how much growing the city still has to do. My overall experience with the Devon Tower has been positive as it signals a new era in Oklahoma City architecture and business. The Devon Tower was designed by Jon Pickard. Picture Source
