Another masterpiece of Art Deco along Route 66 in Tulsa is the Blue Dome. The Blue Dome was built in 1924 and served as a Gulf Oil Station. This was the first station in Oklahoma to have hot water, pressurized air and a car wash. It was also open 24 hours, seven days a week. The station attendant lived upstairs in the dome itself. This 1948 picture shows the Blue Dome in the hey-day of Route 66.
Today owner Michael Sager is restoring the Blue Dome to its former glory. Michael hopes to have it completed by the Tulsa Route 66 Festival in June of 2004. The area around the Blue Dome on Route 66 will be the center focus of the festival.
