Anyone know whether the Petroleum Club is still located in this building?

Funny story: In the 60's, my Mom and her best friend went to a "ladie's luncheon" at the Petroleum Club for wives of men in the oil/gas business. They were all excited about it and felt like they needed to show up in high fashion. So they bought some gold spray paint and painted their purses. They went to the luncheon, and put their purses down on the floor by their chairs. Then a couple of hours later they got up to leave and found that their purses were stuck to the floor since the paint hadn't dried when they arrived.

Sorry about the digression but I couldn't resist. Hopefully someone will enjoy this story related to this building. I feel really nostalgic about the building.

Edit: At the same luncheon, my Mom's friend stuck a cherry tomato in her mouth and bit down on it, at which time it squirted across the table and hit another woman in the face. They had a lot of fun telling people about these incidents over the years.
