Mod of the Moment
March 6, 2011
4:00 to 6:00 PM
1220 E. 21st Place
The home, known as the Scherbatskoy house, began life as a typical Maple Ridge home from the Twenties. It appears in the book One Hundred More Historic Tulsa Homes, where John Brooks Walton calls the chapter How a Swimming Pool Designed a House.
In 1957 the owners asked Robert Buchner to design a natatorium and integrate it into the east side of the house. A few months later fire partially destroyed the roof of the original house- so Buchner was called in again. The final result is a distinctive swimming pool with a house attached!
For more details on the event, the organizers or who the heck Robert Buchner is visit Modern Tulsa.

I love this house, I use to walk by it on my many walks around town.
Sad news.
Just got word today that it's rubble.
