Tulsa on Cover of Preservation Magazine

Tulsa and its art deco architecture are featured in the cover story of the July/August issue of Preservation magazine, published by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The article declares Tulsa “one of the nation’s premier centers of art deco … in the classy company of Miami Beach, New York and Los Angeles.”

Recognition in Preservation magazine serves as the perfect enticement for preservation enthusiasts and architecture buffs to come to Tulsa for the 2008 National Preservation Conference Oct. 21-25. An estimated 2,500 visitors are expected to visit our city and admire buildings that residents sometimes take for granted – Boston Avenue Methodist Church, Tulsa Union Depot, the Philcade, and many others.

The article, “Tulsa’s Deco Gems,” can be found in its entirety online. Copies of the magazine are available for $5 at Steve’s Sundries. Subscriptions to Preservation magazine, which also include membership in the National Trust for Historic Preservation are available online.
