Owen Park Historic District
- Description
- The Owen Park neighborhood is located northwest of the Central Business District in Tulsa. It has definite physical boundaries on the north, east and south. Owen Park also contributes to the area’s identity. This solidly residential area contains two of Tulsa’s few remaining boulevards. The Tulsa Country Club and golf course are strong visual assets to the north. Primarily bungalow in architectural style, Owen Park home exteriors are primarily of wood and stucco. The density is low and the scale is typical of 1920s middle-class subdivisions. The area and its relationship to the city have changed very little over time. Built by professionals and businessmen, the unpretentious homes form a pleasing and quietly comfortable neighborhood reminiscent of its earlier era.
- The Owen Park District was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 9, 1999. It was listed under National Register Criteria A & C, and its NRIS number is 99001137.
