The Tulsa World is pleased to announce a 160-page, hardcover coffee-table book, "Building Tulsa: The Story of a City and its World-Class Architecture."

Tulsa’s modest start as a tiny trading post on the windswept prairie was transformed when it became the fastest-growing boomtown in America and the Oil Capital of the World. The pioneers and tycoons who came here set out to create some of the most lavish and creative architecture in the country. Today, as the city continues to grow in the 21st century, Tulsa is still building to impress.
