Boston Avenue Methodist Church

Completed in 1929 in downtown Tulsa, Boston Avenue Methodist Church became one of the United States’ most admired ecclesiastical Art Deco buildings. Designed from Adah Robinson’s original sketches and developed by Bruce Goff, though officially credited to Rush, Endacott and Rush, the fifteen-story church is dominated by a 225-foot tower that blends Gothic verticality with Art Deco exuberance. Its metal, glass, terra cotta, limestone, and granite exterior is rich with religious symbolism, including stylized praying hands and sculptural groups by Robert Garrison. Recognized nationally for its architectural importance, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 and named a National Historic Landmark in 1999.
