A construction boom in the early 20th century turned this Oklahoma city into a hotbed of Art Deco architecture - In the early 1920s, as the Jazz Age flourished in Manhattan and the newly minted “Hollywoodland” lured the would-be rich and famous to the West Coast, an empire was growing in the middle of the United States. With a second wave of oil discoveries along the Arkansas River, Tulsa, Oklahoma in particular became a veritable boomtown. As businessmen from more cosmopolitan areas arrived and built refineries, a city of great wealth grew around them, with architects and designers taking cues from the au courant Art Deco style that dominated bigger cities. The area was ripe for development, what with this vast midwestern landscape being further west than any city in the vicinity developed at the time. Before long, Tulsa became the “Oil Capital of the World” and a commercial mecca. Known as the "Terra Cotta City" in the late 1920s for its beautiful examples of Art Deco buildings, Tulsa offers this self-guided Art Deco Landmarks Walking Tour so others can learn of the fascinating history and architects behind these structures. Many of the buildings are now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and three internationally-recognized architects designed buildings in Tulsa that are considered outstanding examples of Art Deco style: Frank Lloyd Wright (Westhope), Barry Byrne (Christ the King Church) and Bruce Goff (Boston Avenue United Methodist Church). Other Art Deco buildings include the Philcade, Warehouse Market, Spotlight Theater, Tulsa Union Depot, Fairgrounds Pavilion, Will Rogers High School, Tulsa Monument Company, the Fire Alarm Building and the Brook Theater (now the Brook Restaurant & Bar). OUR FAVORITE THINGS TO DO IN THE DECO DISTRICT: - Sip cocktails in the seductive subterranean speakeasy Boston Title & Abstract - Learn about Tulsa’s early history and amazing architecture on an Art Deco Tour from Tulsa Tours, or take a self-guided tour up-and-down Boston Avenue to discover the beauty of Tulsa’s Art Deco architecture on-your-own - Grab a burger and a beer at the Local Bison - Catch a show at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center

Home to one of Lonely Planet’s “10 historic Black landmarks to visit in the USA” and the first monument on National Geographic’s list of “6 essential American monuments,” Tulsa is one of the nation’s most prominent destinations for Black history and culture. Famously nicknamed Black Wall Street, the district’s unprecedented prosperity in a time where the nation failed to recognize Black people as equals served as a bastion of hope for Black people in America. The Greenwood District, from Martin Luther King Blvd. to east of Greenwood Ave, was popularly known as America’s “Black Wall Street” until the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the most devastating massacres in the history of U.S. race relations, destroying the once thriving Greenwood community. John Hope Franklin Reconciliation Park, Greenwood Cultural Center and the Greenwood Rising Museum honor the victims of the Tulsa Race Massacre and the district is experiencing a renaissance of new business. OUR FAVORITE THINGS TO DO IN THE GREENWOOD DISTRICT: - Educate yourself at the Greenwood Cultural Center or Greenwood Rising museum about America’s worst racial violence - See the Black Wall Street mural and learn about its symbolism - Visit the Black Wall Street Gallery for contemporary art by regional artists - Eat southern food at Wanda J’s Next Generation or burgers and spicy fries at Fat Guy’s Burgers - Watch a game at ONEOK Field, home to the Tulsa Drillers (AA affiliate of the LA Dodgers) and FC Tulsa f.k.a. Tulsa Roughnecks (United Soccer League) - Admire the rebuilt brickwork and neon sign of Vernon AME Church, the only partially original structure that predates the 1921 disaster - Reflect on the past at John Hope Franklin Reconciliation Park

Kendall Whittier Main Street (KWMS) in Tulsa, Oklahoma is one of three winners of the 2020 Great American Main Street Award (GAMSA), which recognizes communities for their excellence in comprehensive preservation-based commercial district revitalization. Selected by a national jury of community development professionals and leaders in the fields of economic development and historic preservation, Kendall Whittier Main Street (KWMS) is being recognized for turning an area of decades-long blight into a lively hub for arts and culture. Kendall Whittier was a bustling shopping district from the late 1920s through the 1950s, but when a highway bisected the neighborhood in 1967, the area struggled to recover. By the early 2000s, the neighborhood was known as Tulsa’s red-light district– home to vacant storefronts and adult-oriented businesses. Today, Kendall Whittier is one of Tulsa’s most diverse neighborhoods and boasts several restaurants, breweries, a Mexican bakery, and Tulsa’s oldest and only independent movie theatre.

THE MUSEUM: Philbrook Museum of Art opened on October 25, 1939. The addition of a 70,000 square foot wing in 1990 turned the historic home into a modern museum complex. A major garden renovation in 2004 cemented the Museum’s reputation as “the most beautiful place in Oklahoma.” The Philbrook Collection features more than 16,000 objects with a focus on American, Native American, and European art. Serving over 160,000 visitors annually, Philbrook shines a light on Tulsa’s storied and complex past while building a diverse and creative vision of the city’s future. THE VILLA: Villa Philbrook was a child of the Twenties. World War I was over. Women could vote. It was a time of flappers, rumble seats, prohibition, bootleggers and five-cent Cokes. More than that, in Tulsa the Twenties smelled of oil and resounded with money. In 1926 Edward Buehler Delk (1885–1956), a Kansas City architect, was hired to design an Italian Renaissance villa on 25 acres by oilman Waite Phillips. Delk skillfully interpreted Renaissance styles in the most fashionable manner of the day and was hired in a burst of commissions with three major projects at once: Villa Philbrook, Villa Philmonte and the Philtower office building. This impressive home was completed in 1927. Friends say that the Phillipses built the villa as a place where their two children could entertain friends. When they moved in, daughter Helen was sixteen, son Elliott was ten. In 1938 Waite Phillips surprised Tulsans with the announcement of his gift of the 72-room mansion and surrounding 23 acres of grounds as an art center for the city of Tulsa. The vision first made possible by Waite and Genevieve Phillips is now one of America’s finest art museums. The integrity of the original residence remains intact while later additions to the facility and gardens complete this classic Tulsa attraction.

The John Hope Franklin Reconciliation Park is dedicated to Black Americans in Tulsa - from their harrowing journey to the United States to the civil rights era. National Geographic article named this site one of the most important monuments in the nation. Built as part of the 2001 Oklahoma Commission to Study the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, Reconciliation Park memorializes the history of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. The park's namesake was a civil rights leader who promoted this often forgotten history. 300 people died and many more were injured in acts of senseless violence in the city's thriving Black neighborhood. Hope Plaza is comprised of a 16-foot granite structure that holds three bronze sculptures, each showing a different stage of the Race Massacre. "Hostility" depicts a white man holding two shot guns, "Humiliation" displays a black man with his hands raised above his head and "Hope" shows the white director of the Red Cross holding a black baby. All statues were created by Ed Dwight, an artist and the first black astronaut candidate in the US. Each representation was taken from an actual photo from 1921 and has been recreated to be larger than life. The center piece of the park called the Tower of Reconciliation is 25-feet tall. Visitors will encounter various parts of black history, including slaves' migration on the Trail of Tears, the Battle of Honey Springs, statehood, the founding of Oklahoma's All-Black towns and prominent Black Tulsa leaders.

Completed in 1914, Tulsa Theater (formerly known as the Brady Theater) was designed as a municipal auditorium and convention hall by the architectural firm of Rose and Peterson of Kansas City, KS. The building was known as Convention Hall from 1914 – 1952. When the facility officially opened, it was billed as the largest hall between Kansas City and Houston. In 1930, world-renowned architect Bruce Goff was hired as designer of a major interior remodel. He had thirty days to transform the barn-like interior into an elegant showplace. The Art Deco style remodeling included draperies and seats, vertical wall panels of white plaster decorated with thin gold dividers, gilded air conditioning grilles, and acoustic ceiling tiles painted green, blue, white, and gold. Five massive green and white pendant light fixtures were installed centrally in the auditorium. From 1952 – 1979 – the building served as Tulsa Municipal Theater and in 1979, the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places with its architectural design referenced as Western Classic Revival. Purchased that same year by Peter Mayo, he named the building Brady Theater as many locals already referred to the historic venue as the ‘Old Lady on Brady’, the street on which the building resided. When the city of Tulsa unanimously voted to remove the name Brady from the street and the arts district due to intense scrutiny after revelations its namesake was a Tulsa businessman with deep roots in the KKK and other unsavory deeds rooted in racism, the venue proudly became Tulsa Theater. The beautiful Tulsa sign has been lovingly restored from 1952 to hang once again on this glorious old structure. Some of the greatest names in show business have graced this historic stage: Don Henley, Louis Anderson, Chet Atkins, Burt Bacharach, Joe Bonamassa, Robin Williams, Tony Bennett, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Blood Sweat & Tears, Pat Boone, Sylvia, Glen Campbell, Steely Dan, The Cars, Dwight Yoakam, Roy Clark, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Rosemary Clooney, Phil Collins, David Allen Coe, John Conlee, Earl Thomas Conley, Alice Cooper, David Copperfield, Devo, Earth Wind & Fire, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Kris Kristofferson, Jeff Beck, Twenty One Pilots, John Fogerty, Kenny G, NF, Genesis, Al Green, Merle Haggard, Buddy Holly, Atlantic Starr, Tom Jones, Journey, Leon Russell, Kansas, B.B. King, Cyndi Lauper, Emmylou Harris, Motley Crue, Willie Nelson, Ted Nugent, Restless Heart, Chicago, Kenny Rogers, George M. Cohan, Will Rogers, Styx, Ed Sullivan, Survivor, Randy Travis, U2, Phil Vassar, Adam Ant, Leon Bridges, The Pretenders and many many more! The venue’s impeccable acoustics and reputation for the incredible layout which makes every seat in the house a great seat keep people coming back time and again. We hope to see you at the show!
