Impressions restaurant recently received notice it is going to have to vacate the Oil Capital Building, 507 S. Main St., by the end of July.
The notice came while owner Tom Butcher was home recuperating from major surgery.
"I haven't told him about the building yet," said his wife, Susan Butcher, manager of Full Moon Cafe. "I'm going to have to go home and tell him today."
The building has been owned by Kanbar Properties. Susan said the notice to vacate indicated the building is being sold. She said she is sure Tom will be "actively seeking" a new location downtown, but she said no target date has been set for his return to work.
She said doctors found a tumor in his lower back in December, and he had surgery in Baltimore in mid March.
Tom Butcher has operated Impressions in its current location since 2002, but many Tulsans remember fondly when it was housed in a cedar building with a slanted roof, much like a mountain lodge, at 15th Street and Lewis Avenue for two decades, beginning in 1978.
Between the two Impressions sites, Butcher ran Pizza Dot Tom in the Brady District.
"He's doing better now; he's on the road to recovery," said Susan Butcher. "He wants all of his loyal customers to know how much he appreciates their support during this time."
