Jacobs General Contracting’s corporate office at 720 N.W. 50th in Oklahoma City was the original home of C.L. Frates Insurance Company and Hefner Oil Company. This classic mid century (1953) building was designed by Oklahoma City Architect David Benham. Shortly after a fire partially destroyed the building in 1984 Travelers Motor Club moved into the building and officed here for over 20 years. The Oklahoma Arts Institute also officed in the building for many years. In 2005 Chesapeake Realty purchased the building.

Jacobs General Contracting, Barns & Lewis Law Firm, Anglin P.R., Hammond, Kent F. Frates and Shartel Associates bought the building in 2009. Jacobs General Contracting remodeled the business utilizing services of VanStavern Design Group and Brand& Brand Design Group. The building stands as an example of mid-century modern architecture restored to exceed normal modern day standards with high quality finishes and efficient rehabilitation.
