Before Tulsa was built, it was drawn.
Inside the Tulsa Foundation for Architecture archives are nearly 70,000 records documenting the buildings, architects, and ideas that helped shape the city we know today.
For Dustin, TFA has always been more than a resource. It’s a place where Tulsa’s architectural history is preserved, studied, and—maybe most importantly—made accessible to the people who live here.
Consider this our Tulsa Foundation for Architecture superfan post. 😉

Tulsa has a way of hiding some of its best stories in plain sight.
This Robert Buchner-designed building, now home to the Tulsa Foundation for Architecture and AIA, is one of them.
And just a few degrees away, Buchner’s work intersects with Dustin’s own story — through the former Florence Park Library, his family, and years of Tulsa history layered into one place.
Knowing the city is more than knowing the streets. It’s knowing what shaped them.

The OWNTULSA family would like to feature, on this 25th Anniversary of 9/11, a design and technology installation. This use of drones to recreate the Twin Towers is a beautiful tribute.
Design studio Drift and architect Shigeru Ban have worked to recreate the Twin Towers with lighted drones for the 25th anniversary of 9/11, with each light representing a life lost in the World Trade Center attack.
Using the tools of our time to remember the past. We are honored to witness this beautiful installation to acknowledge those lost on 9/11. Technology is part of our new revolution….artistically and functionally we can create beauty with its application.
Remember WE CAN and so WE DO.

A look back at a few past listings, along with some of the details Dustin notices beyond beds, baths, and square footage.
Some of the most meaningful aspects of a home are often the hardest to express in a listing.
It’s the way the light fills each room, the neighborhood's unique rhythm, and the nearby spots that seamlessly weave into your daily routine. It’s about the familiar faces you begin to recognize, often without even realizing it. These are the little things that turn a mere address into a cherished part of your life in Tulsa.
And they're definitely worth noticing.
Because finding the right home isn’t just about knowing what’s on the market; it’s about discovering the heart and soul of Tulsa itself. 🌇

Neighborhood Watch with Dustin Thames: Brentwood/Wildwood. 👀
We’re getting about as insider as it gets. Dustin is taking us through his childhood home (still owned by his family and, no, not for sale 😉) to show us the details that make this pocket of Wildwood so timeless.
The original windows. Plaster molding that still frames the rooms. Old brass hardware that’s earned its patina. Stonework laid when this neighborhood was first taking shape.
They’re the kinds of details you might walk past without thinking twice, but together, they tell the story of how these homes were built — with care, character, and craftsmanship meant to last.
And who better to point them out than someone who literally grew up here?

An insider’s look at Brentwood — and by insider, we mean literally raised in it.
OwnTulsa is heading into the historic Brentwood subdivision, tucked within Tulsa’s Wildwood Neighborhood District. It’s the neighborhood Dustin grew up in, and where his family still owns their 1930s home today.
A Tulsa neighborhood within a neighborhood, told by someone who knows it as more than a place on a map. 🫶

Every couple has a homebuying department.
One handles the numbers, inspections, repairs and general “but what if—”
The other has been inside for 45 seconds and is already assigning bedrooms.
Dustin + Christy are living proof that both departments are necessary. 😂
So, which one are you? 👀

Over the years, I’ve walked through a lot of Tulsa homes, and helping people buy and sell them has always been a labor of love.
But some homes stick with you. Maybe it’s the architecture, the story, the people behind it, or just that feeling you get the second you walk through the door.
These are 10 Tulsa homes I still think about.
And believe me, there are plenty more. Instagram only gives me so many slides. 😉
