BOK Tower (originally One Williams Center) was constructed in 1976 for The Williams Companies Inc. a petroleum producer in Tulsa, Oklahoma. John Williams, the CEO at the time, liked the look of the recently completed World Trade Center so much that he hired the original architect to build essentially a half-scale version of WTC Tower 1.

The lobby even has marble walls and wall hanginga similar to the old World Trade Center.

    St. Francis here! I still think Tulsa is Oklahoma’s crown jewel and the nicest place I’ve ever lived or visited.

      Yeah Tulsa really isn’t the worst place in the world, I don’t love the state but I’m a little soft for Tulsa. There are a lot of good people in that city
