Originally constructed in 1922 (with additions made in 1927, 1928 and 1958), the Mathews Warehouse/Tulsa Paper Company building received preliminary permission in June 2010 to become a “certified historic structure” from the National Park Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior, provided certain conditions are met and rehabilitation of the property is completed.
PUTTING THE "GREEN" IN GUTHRIE GREEN Green technology includes: HPGX Geothermal well field Solar Panels /Photovoltaic cells on the pavilion Bio-swales LED lighting Fountains run on a loop-system
Beneath Guthrie Green 120 High Performance Geo Exchange (HPGX) wells provide approximately 600 tons of low cost, low emission heating and cooling for the Tulsa paper company building. The downtown location meant extreme space restrictions for a geo-exchange well field. The HPGX system cuts the well footprint in half while providing superior heat exchange and well field performance. Guthrie Green’s HPGX system places Tulsa in league with such cities as Chicago, Atlanta, Boston and Cleveland. A traditional polyethylene pipe (u-tube) well field would have required more than double the drilling, land space and pumping watts for similar thermal performance to that of HPGX.
