OKC’s historic Colcord Hotel was built in 1909. The Colcord is considered Oklahoma City's first skyscraper, although less than 50m high. It is 145 feet (44 m) tall and has 14 floors. Originally an office tower developed by Charles Colcord, the building was renovated by Coury Properties and reopened as a luxury hotel in 2006. The Colcord Hotel is recognized as one of the Historic Hotels of America by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Photo by David Fisk.
