The Oklahoma Natural Gas Company Build is a historic building in Tulsa, Oklahoma, at 624 South Boston Ave. It was one of the first Art Deco buildings built in Tulsa. The selection of the new Art Deco style for this building along with the Public Service of Oklahoma Building by the relatively conservative utility companies made the style acceptable in the city and many Art Deco buildings were subsequently built in Tulsa. The building was designed by Frank V. Kirshner and Arthur M. Atkinson. It was built of reinforced concrete and clad in buff brick. The lower two stories are clad in limestone. The verticalness of the building is emphasized by piers rising the entire height of the facade with windows placed between the piers. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 10, 1984, for architectural significance and as an representative of the tremendous growth Tulsa experienced during the 1920s.
