Mid 1930's Historic Tulsa Fire station, Restored

I think this is going to be demolished at some point in the future, it is now closed to foot traffic. The bridge was originally a Midland Valley RR bridge across the Arkansas River

Light on the top change colors, I got one of each color here

Could not decade if I like it better with or without the car trails, so I put both on

New sculpture to commemorate US Rt. 66. The sculpture is along the original alignment of the mother road. This was the route from 1926 until 1933 when a realignment move it a mile south of this location

The green tower on the building almost in the center of the photo was used by a local TV station back in the 50's and 60's to forecast the weather. When the tower lights are Green it means clear weather, Red light on the tower means storms

Replica Neon signs of motels that use to be along Rt. 66 in Tulsa. Lights on ceremony was Sept 15th. The small park is on the west side of the Cyrus Avery Bridge, which is closed now, but was the original Rt. 66 bridge over the Arkansas River

Green light on the tower on smaller building in the center is how they use to forecast the weather. Tower in green was clear, red light was for stormy weather

Tulsa Fire Station 13. This was an active fire station from the 1930's until the mid 1960's when it was left for a more modern facility. For the next 50 years the building was used for a variety of things mostly as warehouse space with no or very little upkeep and maintenance. The building was purchased in 2019 and restored to it's original condition complete with a vintage Fire Truck in the single bay. The facility is now used as an event center
