Brady Heights is a
contributing buildings.[1]
From territorial days until the 1920s, Brady Heights was an important part of the then fashionable north side of Tulsa. Professionals and businessmen like G. Y. Vandever (owner of Vandever's department store), I. S. Mincks (initial owner of the Mincks-Adams Hotel), architect George Winkler and “Diamond Joe” Wilson, owned homes there.[2] The area derives its name from entrepreneur
Bungalow styles. Wood and brick are the most common exterior materials. The houses of Brady Heights are on a larger scale and of a more sophisticated design than those of adjacent neighborhoods. Bay windows with leaded glass, servants’ quarters, and broad porches suggest the elegance of earlier days.[3]
The development differs from later Tulsa neighborhoods in that it is more eclectic. The district also includes two
Dutch Colonial houses and a 1920 neoclassic mansion.[2]
It was listed under National Register Criteria C, for its architecture.[2]
