Zig Zag Art Deco

Constructed by I S Mincks and opened as a hotel in 1928, Alfred C ("Frenchy") Fabry's design for this building has the most ornate glazed rococo terracotta Art Deco Zig Zag facade in Tulsa.

 

Closed during the Great Depression the hotel later opened as the Adams Hotel, but with the script letter "M" on the front entrance awning as can be seen above. The pastel coloring on the terracotta has faded significantly but the red and blue hues can still be seen.

 

The building is on the US National Register of Historic Places.
