At 100 North Broadway Avenue, BancFirst Tower lifts 36 floors and 500 feet over downtown Oklahoma City. From here you can appreciate its full height: 152.4 meters (500 feet), making it the second tallest building in the city and the sixth tallest in the state of Oklahoma. You are at 100 North Broadway Avenue, facing the 36-floor tower that was completed in 1971 for Liberty National Bank and Trust Company, once one of Oklahoma City’s largest banks.
The building began life as Liberty Tower, later became Bank One Tower and then Chase Tower (BankOne later merging into JP Morgan, Chase), and was most recently known as Cotter Ranch Tower or Cotter Tower after real estate holdings owner James Cotter of San Antonio, Texas. Liberty Bank was purchased by Bank One in 1997, and after that the tower displayed the Bank One logo; Chase held the naming rights and the Chase logo before the building was purchased by BancFirst. Presently the building displays the BancFirst logo.
Nearby, remember that the anchor of the USS Oklahoma, salvaged after the battleship was sunk at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, was located on the Park Avenue median between Chase Tower and the Skirvin Hilton Hotel. Notice the anchor from the USS Oklahoma, salvaged after Pearl Harbor, resting quietly on the Park Avenue median nearby.
