Older photographs of the tower in its infancy show windows going up where now is a solid buff exterior, at the top of which is the "City Place" and "UMB" sign. When were the windows covered, and why?

Either the Sr. has something to do with Film Row or owned part of it. He and his son did newsreels concerning events in OKC (provided "search light") for promotions and grand openings. The 2 that stick in my mind was the Colosseum at the Stockyards and an event at the Civic Center. It could have been the opening of. Most newsreel footage was done for Pathe. Their symbol was a rooster and was around from silent films on up. I mention it because there are reels concerning the Ramsey Bldg and work process. papaOU 03-20-2011, 04:46 PM Mark Your Calendars for our 10th Annual AIA Architecture Tour!
