1925: South Madison Avenue House

1925 | 1712 S. Madison Avenue, Tulsa, Oklahoma | Built in 1925 for John L. and Anna A. Dickson, who came to Tulsa from Pennsylvania to work for H. F. Wilcox Oil Co. The home demonstrates Goff’s exploration of the Prairie influence with its low horizontal elements, including a flat roof. More than 50 years ago young Tulsan Byron Burke fell in love with Goff architecture on South Madison Avenue. In 2016, Burke purchased one of those long-admired homes. When he was in college at OU, Burke briefly met Goff when he joined his roommates for a tour of Goff-designed homes in Norman, including Bavinger House. Burke, a property tax consultant, spent about a year renovating the home, which included significant repairs such as replacing support beams and gutting the kitchen and master bathroom. Despite these and other changes, many original elements remain, including the home’s original lighting fixtures, crown molding and pocket doors.
