Events at the historic Ada Robinson House (Bruce Goff)
Summary
A wall-to-wall fight over whether the Bruce Goff-designed home on Owasso can host occasional events. Neighbors cite parking jams, past code citations, and a $8,000 charity-auction dinner as proof it's a commercial venue; supporters call it a civic treasure that should be shared. The board split the difference with tight conditions and a one-year trial.
