First United Methodist Church, Tulsa
Located in downtown Tulsa, First United Methodist Church is one of Tulsa’s most beautiful churches. Established in January 1921, the church held religious services in the basement until 1928 when the current building was completed and officially opened. Designed by Charles Bolton, the church was built in the Perpendicular Tudor Gothic architectural style. The exterior consists of local sandstone and oak, except for the windows and beautiful arches, which are Indiana limestone and cement. The sanctuary is in the shape of a cruciform, and two large towers flank the front entrance.
