Talk:First National Center (Oklahoma City)

Air-Conditioning
Was this building air-conditioned when it was first built in 1931? If not, does anybody know what year it became air-conditioned??? Thanks in advance to anybody who knows.

Emergency Evacuation Slide
Another unique architectural feature is the emergency evacuation slide. This was part of the original design and build. My Mom worked in the building for an insurance company that had offices there. She originally related this to me. Over the years it has been mentioned twice on the news by different local broadcast stations. I have always thought that concept was an excellent idea and would facilitate rapid egress from the building by all during an emergency. If the twin towers had such I'm convinced that many more lives would have been saved. I have attempted to visit the building twice but both times there was no access due to reconstruction. I have been trolling for contact info for the current owners so I could discuss this feature with them and possibly gain access to view it for myself. My Mom told me of the drills they would hold to practice building evacuation. I don't feel sufficiently experienced to do the edit myself so perhaps someone more experienced/knowledgeable could. It's unclear if the feature has been retained during the reconstruction. Since it is a registered historic building I would think they have to retain this feature. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Quisizyx (talk • contribs) 21:20, 16 August 2018 (UTC)
