| Tulsa Art Deco. In the 1920s, Tulsa was the "Oil Capitol of the World" and the city set out to make sure the world whole world knew. Its a fascinating story of what happens when money and civic pride are in unlimited supply. The result: one of the most impressive collections of Art Deco buildings anywhere in the world. If you've never been to Tulsa here's your chance to see the city's magnificent Art Deco skyscrapers, churches, movie theatres, schools, train station, fairgrounds and homes. There is so much beautiful terracotta its hard to comprehend. Gracious Tulsans take you inside their homes, showing their unique details and telling their histories. Tulsa must be the glass block capitol of the world! Tulsa is also home to Frank Lloyd Wright's exceptional house, Westhope. You'll tour this masterpiece and get insights into what its like to live in and maintain a Wright home. No visit to Tulsa would be complete without a trip to the world's finest Art Deco religious structure, Bruce Goff's Boston Avenue Methodist Church. We won't try to describe it; you must see the video. There are even brief glimpses of Tulsa's lost Deco heritage. We particularly liked the original airport. Commentary is provided throughout and since Tulsa is on Route 66, historian/Rt. 66 expert Michael Wallis helps put things in context.
