For my first post I think it best to do the one structure that has been static throughout my childhood and early adulthood. Located in midtown Tulsa just south of 36th Street between Lewis and Utica, not 2 miles from the Philbrook Museum among other historic landmarks, this structure was the first on its block, built in 1955. My late grandfather, a Reverand, Pianist in the U.S. Navy in the 40s, and ultimately a retired Piano Teacher, and late grandmother settled here to raise my dad and uncle in 1965. The structure is unique for its area, considering most homes have been renovated or torn down in the immediate area (as mentioned in one of my following posts), with the original white brick, single story landscape, and dated shutters. Not necessarily “big” for its location/value, the house still has a homey touch with wood flooring, dated black and white tile, among other nuances. The 2007 ice storm also left it needing a new roof, 2 80 foot high oak trees needing to be cut down, and new flooring/carpet/ceilings in the bedroom, dining room, and big club room. I myself have hosted many band practices and used it as a recording studio from 2014 until moving to Norman this past summer and it definitely insulated sound surprisingly well.
