What’s the most unusual thing you’ve ever found at a garage sale? For Stuart McDaniel, it wasn’t just a knickknack or vintage appliance—it was an entire abandoned church.

Join us as we follow Stewart and Katie McDaniel, and find out whether or not they made an impulsive decision they would come to regret or follow through with plans that will preserve an important part of Tulsa history. We will show you The Second Presbyterian Church, from its vibrant beginnings in 1917 to its closure in 2004, this once-thriving church has seen it all: community growth, urban decline, and a surprising rebirth.

In this video, we uncover the stories behind this architectural gem, explore its unique challenges, and reveal Stuart’s bold vision to transform it into a living community center. Along the way, we’ll share rare historical insights, stunning visuals, and interviews with those passionate about saving this piece of Tulsa's history.

Founding Principles

Our Values

Preservation is the biggest goal for AAF, working with outside organizations such as Preserve Arkansas & Preserve Oklahoma to help ensure the future and safety of our history. Through volunteer events we can help bring these buildings back to life by providing lawn maintenance, securing locations, painting, cleanup, and much more.

Preservation

Our team’s passion for abandoned buildings and history goes back to 2009 when Abandoned Oklahoma was started to educate people on the importance of these places through history and photographs. Since then we have expanded across three states and have a team of over fifteen members.

Education

We strive to not only educate people about the history of these buildings but also about why and how they can be saved. While working together with local news outlets and the community we put out the word to gather volunteers and potential investors to save properties.
