Boston Avenue United Methodist Church, Tulsa (must see)

The Boston Avenue United Methodist Church is often lauded for its ecclesiastical Art Deco architecture. The church was completed in 1929 after only two years of construction.

The design of the church was envisioned by Adah Robinson, a local art teacher and chair of the art department at the University of Tulsa. Architect Bruce Goff, a former student of Robinson's, used her sketches to create the architectural plans. There is some controversy over who is credited with the final plan, though the church itself credits Robinson as the primary designer

The building uses crockets and finials that are meant to represent two hands raised in prayer. It is constructed from metal, glass, limestone, granite and terracotta. This includes many terracotta sculptures created by artist Robert Garrison, another one of Robinson's students.

The Boston Avenue United Methodist Church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It was named a National Historic Landmark in 1999.
