Charles A. Sanderson and Roy Wesley Sanderson originally constructed this building for Holland Hall School. Waite Phillips, W.G. Skelly and George S. Bole, along with several others, backed the project financially. The building was originally constructed with 9 classrooms, a shop, gymnasium, assembly auditorium, offices, and a chemical laboratory. The property was purchased by aerial cartography business Aero Exploration Company in 1938. It was later sold to KTUL Radio, a CBS affiliate, and Tulsa Broadcasting Company. KTUL remodeled the building internally and externally in 1947, converting the appearance to its current “Art Moderne” theme. (Tulsa Preservation Commission)
This is wonderful Bill. Do you know Ron Palma? If not, you two should meet!
ReplyDeleteKTUL is the ABC affiliate. KOTV is the CBS affiliate.
ReplyDeleteKTUL radio (AM 1430) was a CBS Radio affiliate. In the early '60s, the station changed its call letters to KELi and switched to a rock'n'roll format. http://tulsatvmemories.com/tulradi3.html
