Buildings Never Built

[Bowser214]

I swear several years ago I read an article (I think it was on Newsok.com) that someone wanted to build a giant oil derrick in OKC to represent Oklahoma like the Eiffel Tower is to France. But I can't find anything information regarding that structure.

It was supposed to straddle the river. It was put out by a politician over on 23rd street.

Forgive me for not getting this to you sooner. Had to recall where I had this in my drafts.

Still believe if we had a large Tower 700 - 800 ft high, similar to a Seattle Space Needle (605 ft) or San Antonio Tower of Americas (750 ft) it would be a game changer for our City.

Skydance Tower, 760 ft, restaurant & observatory.

Could OKC partner with the Chickasaw Tribe to build something of this magnitude on the 100 acres near the FAM museum deeded to them for finishing the museum.

Want to clarify, the pic above was an artists rendering of the FAM Museum (American Indian Cultural Center & Museum (AICCM). The artist (just for fun) decided to inject an observation tower.
