OG&E Tower

[Dubya61]

Again, the time to save it was a generation ago. The last real chance to save it was during P180/Devon TIF. In retrospect it never resonated with a champion who had enough horsepower, and we never brought the right mechanism to bear.

I still don't agree that it required tax dollars. Only earlier intervention. This problem should have been solved in the seventies or eighties. Any time an architectural fight is done in the eleventh hour it generally is a losing battle and ALWAYS costs the preservationists political capital.

So, lets finally learn this lesson. Now what? What can we do NOW to prevent this to other buildings? Do we have any buildings in OKC now that we can save (even though they aren't presently in danger)?
Please (not necessarily directed at Urbanized) don't take this down the "ripping-our-garments-and-wailing-and-gnashing-of-teeth-our-city-sucks-because-we-already-I.M.Pei'd-everything" road. I know about the Baum and the Biltmore, etc. I just wanted to know what we have now that might require some future salvation.
