Relocated and restored in 1992 by John Brooks Walton. It then became his office for the remainder of his years.
History of the Building
Madsen Massage Therapy now resides in a beautiful historical house called The Manhattan. It was built in 1913 as the Manager's Cottage for the Manhattan Court Apartments originally located at 107 E. 11th St. in Tulsa. It was relocated and restored in 1992 by the well-known Tulsa architect John Brooks Walton, after he heard it was going to be torn down. After Mr. Walton restored the building, it became his office for the remainder of his years. The Manhattan is highlighted in one of Mr. Walton’s books, “One Hundred Historic Tulsa Homes.” We are so appreciative of the attention to detail Mr. Walton took in restoring this beautiful “jewel” of the Manhattan Court Apartments, and strive to put just as much detail into our work and into the house that Mr. Walton did. We feel it is an absolute honor to be in this building and are forever grateful.

About our Logo
For our logo, we highlight a Nautilus shell. The Nautilus is a nocturnal creature that spends most of its time in the deep ocean. It grows into increasingly larger chambers throughout its life and is a symbol for renewal and expansion. At Madsen Massage, we aim to help you on your journey through pain relief, relaxation and healing, so that you can leave feeling refreshed, expanded and better than when you came in.
Nautiluses are living members of the subclass nautiloidea, and are often considered “living fossils,” as they have survived relatively unchanged for millions of years.
For many years, the spiral shape of the Nautilus shell has been thought to be an example of mathematics in nature through its close resemblance to the “Golden Ratio.” Although it is not an exact golden ratio, there does exist a beautiful spiral in it’s shape. A golden spiral can be created by starting with a rectangle in which the ratio of a rectangle between its width and length is the golden ratio. The rectangle can be separated into a square and a similar rectangle. If you partition this newest rectangle in the same way and continue connecting the corner of the squares indefinitely, the result with be a spiral shape closely resembling the nautilus shell.
There are numerous examples of the golden ratio and spirals in human beings, nature and the world around us. Our DNA is a double-helix spiral shape, as are spiral galaxies, flower petals, hurricanes, human faces, etc. Although the golden ratio does not account for everything in the universe, it certainly reveals itself if you look around. At Madsen Massage, see the beautiful connections and synchronicities between ourselves, our clients and the world around us.
