It is 125 by 170 feet (38 m × 52 m) in plan and is built of reinforced concrete. It is clad in limestone and marble. It was designed by Oklahoma City architect William T. Schmitt. Two years into its construction, the structure collapsed, and Schmitt was replaced by Isaac L. Zerbe[2] of the firm Wilmarth & Zerbe, and "apparently the contractor freely consulted both plans in completing the construction."[3]
