Although the fully erect Devon Tower now dominates the skyline, the coolest building in downtown OKC is the First National Center. Constructed in 1935 by famed developer Seymour Slackmeyer, the building honors Oklahoma City's first 50 years and pays tribute to the gaudy art deco style that dominated American architecture before World War II.
Unfortunately, the building has dealt with its fair share of problems over the past few decades. In the 1990s, local philanthropist and heiress Francine Overholser Kilpatrick-Kirkpatrick donated the building to Feed the Children, who used the building's parking garage as a vault to hold excess Golden Hominy and the vintage porn collection that Larry Jones was using for "research" purposes.
