Blog #5: Boston Avenue Methodist Church

The Boston Avenue Methodist Church is a church designed by architect Bruce Goff. Finished in 1929 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, it is considered a shining example of Art Deco architecture. Bruce designed the church in tandem with Adah Robinson, an art teacher at a Tulsa high school. The church includes a tower that utilizes finials and crockets. At the top is a sculpture that represents two hands raised up in prayer. It uses many mixed materials, including metal, glass, and terra cotta. A piece of stone from the church is embedded in a wall of the Chicago Tribune Building.
