The Bradford House

A new cream colored paint is being applied over the old brick which, originally, was more orange in color.

This is a bit controversial, as painting over original brick is something that is not generally allowed in historic preservation.
The building is outside of any area requiring a design review and approval, so the developers are free to do as they like.
But some folks will be rankled by this alteration.

I personally think that the color looks good and will fit in perfectly with the boutique hotel design that is being created.

First Americans Museum


https://www.okctalk.com/showthread.php?t=12455&page=98

Previously known as the American Indian Cultural Center and Museum.

A few days ago, city and tribal officials announced a name change and re-branding for the museum, still under construction.


https://www.okctalk.com/showthread.php?t=12455&page=99


The change was initiated by tribal leaders who felt the old name was lengthy and awkward, along with the fact that "Indian" is a historically inaccurate term.

I can't argue with that, especially the awkwardness -- even the abbreviation AICCM was clumsy.
FAM is much simpler to say, and write.

Mayor Holt announcing the new branding:

Meanwhile, on the ground, a new glass curtain wall is being installed.

19 & 23 NE 6th

A pair of warehouses are being converted into a restaurant, office space, and rooftop bar.
This is immediately next to Central Exchange and Parlor OKC, which finished up this summer.

This development is not exactly moving at lightning speed, but it is progressing...

From the front (along 6th):

Per the Wheeler District housing, I like that there is a lot of variety in terms of exterior look and style. Certainly, a lot more variety than you find in most residential subdivisions nowadays. They look a little lonely at this point, but once the neighborhood fleshes out, that will all change.

Yeah, it does look a bit isolated out there.
But part of the fun is watching it fill up.

It was basically empty just two years ago.

Here's a pic from late August 2018 -- about 16 months ago:

So it's moving along quickly.

There are still homes to snatch, btw... all you prospective home buyers.
Here's some pics of an available house on 1729 Runway Blvd:

4 bed, 2.5 bath, 2554 sf

Act now, don't be late... offer void where prohibited, blah, blah, blah...
(ok, taking off the checkered salesman jacket now..)

11 NW 10th

This is the pair of adjacent warehouses along 10th Street that are being renovated / reworked.
Part of the eastern building is being demo'd to make room for a central parking area.


Rendering:




Sketch showing sections to be torn down:




Recently, work has begun on this project.
Some of the demo has taken place.

The OG&E electrical sub-station, seen down the street in the last photo, is supposed to be moved a block north, as part of a land swap deal.
But nothing has happened with this yet.

This particular project is located between two popular downtown spots (Sidecar and Twisted Spike Brewery).
It's also just south of the Broadway Park building under construction, and a number of other projects.
Definitely a busy area at the moment.

The Wheeler District is coming together faster than I thought!

BTW, did anyone think to tell the Sooners last night was kind of an important game ?
