Synopsis:

The former Central High School in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, is ready for a rebirth. The 100-year-old building was previously purchased by SBC Oklahoma in 1982 from the Oklahoma City school board. With the purchase, SBC performed a major adaptive reuse project in order to convert the old educational facility into Class A office space. The late Gothic-inspired building was then bought by Oklahoma Farmers Union Mutual Insurance Co (now called American Farmers & Ranchers Mutual Insurance Co) in 2005, who maintained the building as office space. American Farmers & Ranchers however has been able to streamline its business and no longer needs as much space as the building affords. The 177,000-square-foot building in downtown is now up for sale, with the prospect of another adaptive reuse project to convert it into a residential property.
