Cleaning out

It was eight years ago we were in the process of building a new City Hall.

From the vault in the basement (which really wasn’t a vault) to the drop down stairways leading to attic cubby holes, every corner needed to be cleaned out. I was hired to do the cleaning.

I was reminded of that process when I read about the move of Tulsa City Hall.

City employees have spent the past month organizing and photographing all the items that will be put in the auction. They have come across some interesting relics of Tulsa’s past along the way.

Sandra Banks is the Surplus Coordinator for the city of Tulsa. She tells 2NEWS, “We found business cards from Mayor LaFortune. And found plaques I think from Mayor Randall. That may be before my time. But some forms that he signed. And I thought that was neat; Tulsa history.”

You can stop by old City Hall and check out those items January 13th and 17th from 8am to 4pm. The auction items will also be featured online starting January 7th.

I wish I was going to be in the Tulsa area during those dates.
