Sadness and grief over a lost Oklahoma landmark turned to frustration and a quest for answers.Why was Oklahoma City’s historic "Egg Church" torn down Monday, and what happens next? The First Christian Church, known by OKC as the Egg Church, is gone, but not by the choice of the city. City Council made it clear on Tuesday that they couldn’t stop it from happening. "Had it not been for ten years of therapy right now, I would be an emotional wreck on this issue," said James Cooper, Councilmember Ward 2.Council members took turns sharing grief Tuesday morning over the loss of a longtime landmark. Several council members said legally, the city couldn’t stop the demolition."There’s really nothing that could’ve been done. If the city had tried something, they would’ve gone to court and won and gotten the permit anyway," said Kenneth Jordan, municipal counselor city of OKC.Knowing the property was one of sentimental value, it was flagged when the permit to demolish it was filed Friday, but there were no legal avenues to deny the permit.The director of development services said there was no legal impediment for them to issue the permit."All they had to do was meet the building code as far as applying for a demolition permit. Those were the only requirements," Jordan said.The city had a chance to designate the Egg Church as an official historical landmark in 2019 but didn’t. Council members begged Tuesday not to let it happen again. "I need your help. Identify those landmarks then in ward two. Identify them. Email them to me," Cooper said.The property is still listed for sale for $4.25 million. The broker who listed the property told KOCO 5 he had no comment.As for the church, KOCO 5 talked to Pastor Tom Harrison on Tuesday, who said the church owns the property and the board made the decision to demolish the original building, but he doesn’t have details on why or what the future of the property holds.
