PLICO at the Flatiron / Rand Elliott Architects
Built in 1924 by C.F. Meadors and originally the Como Hotel, this historic 1924 blond brick flatiron stood vacant and boarded up for 27 years. Today, the building stands one story taller ? a graceful golden presence at Oklahoma City?s east gateway into Downtown. The project includes the renovation of the historic two-level building and the addition of a third floor. The area?s historic triangular buildings were built soon after OKC?s electric streetcar routes were drawn a century ago. The four surviving historic triangular blocks form the core of the city?s emerging Flatiron district. The newly renovated PLICO Flatiron building has brought new vitality to the area?s relatively undeveloped state, setting the stage for a remarkable new urban neighborhood.
