- Description
The Tracy Park Historic District consists of approximately seventy residences built in the Ridgewood Subdivision in the early 1920s. These single-family houses, some with servants’ quarters, were once part of a larger, downtown neighborhood. It was reduced in size by demolition necessary for construction of the southeast interchange of the Inner Dispersal Loop.
Primarily residential in character, this small neighborhood contains bungalows and two-story frame and brick houses originally built for Tulsa’s growing, oil-related middle class, managers, small businessmen and a few professionals.
The area contains two buildings listed on the Oklahoma Landmarks Inventory. One of these, the “French Cottage,” now has a commercial use, as do nearly all of the original residences on the west side of Peoria. The other Oklahoma Landmarks Inventory building is the Art Deco residence of Adah Robinson, designed by Robinson and her student, Bruce Goff.
- Tracy Park was placed in the Oklahoma Landmarks Inventory in July of 1978. Tracy Park was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 20, 1982, under National Register criteria A and C. Its NRIS number is 820003707.
