The Architecture of Charles Stevens DilbeckFrom a very early age, Charles Stevens Dilbeck knew he wanted to be an architect. In his early teens, he began working for local Tulsa lumberyards designing and revising house plans. With only two years of formal study in architecture at Oklahoma State University, Dilbeck opened his architectural practice in Tulsa, Oklahoma. He designed hundreds of homes in the Tulsa area, including modest "builder's spec" houses and grand and beautiful custom homes.
