Permits in Swan Lake, Tulsa — Historic Preservation Guide

Swan Lake Historic District is centered on Swan Lake Park between 17th and 21st Streets, east of Peoria. The district contains a mix of bungalows, Mediterranean Revival, Spanish Eclectic, and English Cottage Revival homes from the 1920s–1930s.

Same Tulsa Preservation Commission COA pathway as the other 7 HP districts: staff approval for minor work, subcommittee for moderate, full Commission for major work.

Roof tile replacement must match original material (clay vs concrete) and color; substitute materials require full TPC review. Stucco repair must replicate original sand finish or float texture.
