Correspondence Regarding the Historic Preservation of the Philtower Building in Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1978-05-16

The letter is from James R. Jones, a member of Congress, thanking John B. Ellington for providing information about the history of the Philtower Building. Ellington, the manager of the building, also writes to Dr. Harry L. Deupree, enclosing a Building Structure Inventory Form and providing additional information about the building's history and significance. The Philtower Building was constructed by oilman Waite Phillips in 1926 and was later given to the Boy Scouts of America before being sold to a group dedicated to downtown Tulsa's revitalization. Ellington hopes to have the building included in the National Register of Historic Places and provides details about its architecture and features.
