The Thompson Building is a historic high-rise building in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The building rises 215 feet (66 m) in downtown Tulsa.[1] It contains 15 floors,[2] and was completed in 1923.[1] The First National Bank Building currently stands as the 17th-tallest building in the city, and the 36th-tallest building in the state of Oklahoma. The architect who designed the building was Arthur M. Atkinson.
The Thompson Building was originally constructed in 1923 as a 10-story low-rise commercial building by brothers William, Jay, and Roy Thompson to serve as the business home for their ranches—a role the building fulfilled for 58 years.[1][3] When Tidewater Oil and Gas approached the Thompson brothers in 1929 seeking office space in downtown Tulsa, the brothers hired Rucks-Brandt Construction to add five additional floors to the structure as well as a copper-tiled steeple reaching another five floors, bringing the high-rise to its present height.[1][3] The building was constructed in the Beaux Arts architectural style,[2] and is the 2nd-tallest Beaux Arts high-rise in Tulsa, after the Mayo Hotel.
