The brick building was severely damaged when new piers were driven for the new Walnut Bridge in the early 2000s and considered by most to be a lost cause. Dale Boyett fell in love with the buildings and had a dream of restoring them into a showcase for his company. TAP Architecture and Lingo Construction Services were tasked with carrying out Dale’s vision to breathe new life into these buildings. The Quonset hut is now transformed into a dramatic light filled space that leads into the office building. A steel skeleton was built inside the 1920s warehouse to stabilize the structure and support a new glass penthouse. The basement was cleared of dead cats and the dirt floor replaced with a new concrete floor to house the IT department. This incredible act of preservation and conservation of Oklahoma City history is a testimony to what can be done with a lofty vision and ample resources. As a visitor you will be transported through a unique spatial experience from the unassuming front door to skyline views of Bricktown from the penthouse.
