I.. l Monolith Downtown Tulsa had been changing for many moons and things were no different this year. Art deco architecture dominated Tulsa in the thirties. The old Skagg's building, a typical example of this complex building design, was torn down with many people complaining about the destruction of such a work of art. This particular building may have gone the way of all incovenient treasures, but many of the other art deco buildings, like City Hall, were renovated and reopened. ln the light of this bout with history, and up from the ruins, City Services built a new office building. They planned to make it the largest one in Oklahoma, thus taking away the Williams Center's glitter. Oral Roberts continued with his mission in south Tulsa and the City of Faith hospital became more than just girders. But Oral had some special help. It came to him in a vision: 900 feet tall, Jesus spoke to Oral and lifted the hospital in His hands as a sign that He would raise the City of Faith to completion. Publicity abounded and dollars flowed into the hospital. The beautiful people of Tulsa increased their exodus to the Fliver Parks.
