Googie and Winnebago
How lucky was this find -- a great old Winnebago parked next to the great Googie Holiday Lanes?
Holiday Lanes was the fourth bowling alley to open in OKC in 1959, and it just barely made it by greeting its first customers on December 5th of that year. At the time, it was the largest bowling alley in the city, with 32 lanes (16 back to back), but it didn't hold the title for long. By 1960, another alley opened that had 34 lanes.
I don't know who designed this architectural delight -- will have to do some research and find out. It does remind me a bit of the Founders Bank on N. May, although it pre-dates that mid-century structure by five years.
