Brady Hotel (Tulsa)

The Brady Hotel, established in 1903 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, was the city's first hotel with baths and became a popular hub for oil men during the oil boom. It served as a significant political venue, where Charles N. Haskell announced his gubernatorial candidacy. The hotel faced fierce competition from the nearby Robinson Hotel, leading to several expansions. However, a devastating fire in 1935 destroyed much of the building, and despite its historical importance, it was ultimately demolished in 1975 as part of urban renewal efforts. Today, the site reflects the evolution of Tulsa's hospitality landscape.
