This Old House has recognized communities across the nation that are “best places” to find great older homes for renovation or restoration. Unfortunately not one community in Oklahoma made this list. Is this because we do not place enough value on the importance of protecting our older homes? Not true. Many Tulsans do value the older homes and seek them out to restore. However, our current zoning ordinances and city policies are not strong enough to stop unnecessary demolition of used, older homes. Are we missing out on a wonderful opportunity to attract new people to Tulsa? Yes.
