Deco District
An Art Deco district built on the oil boom of the 1920s, with the Philtower, the Philcade and the Mayo Hotel as its most iconic landmarks.
Tulsa calls itself the “Oil Capital of the World.” Wealth from the 1920s and 1930s created one of the best-preserved collections of Art Deco buildings in the United States. Downtown, you can walk past the Philtower’s colorful tile roof, the gold-trimmed lobby of the Philcade Building, the Mayo Hotel and Union Station. The Art Deco Museum is inside a building lobby and can be visited for free. Paid guided architecture walking tours are also available.
