Timeless Treasures: A Look at OKC’s American House Styles
Oklahoma City's neighborhoods represent an eclectic collection of historic America house styles, from Tudor to Craftsman and from Colonial Revival to Ranch. On this walking tour, we'll explore the variety of architectural styles on one block of an historic neighborhood, learning about style-defining details and appreciating the commonalities – and subtle differences – between them. (We will be viewing homes from the sidewalk and will not be going inside any of the homes).
The tour will be led by OKC Foundation for Architecture Vice Chair, Lisa Chronister.
Lisa M. Chronister, FAIA, AICP, LEED AP is the Assistant Director of the Oklahoma City Planning Department where she leverages her architectural expertise to influence public decision making, improving public and private development to ensure a vibrant, attractive environment for the entire community.
