Tulsa Fire Alarm Building
Art Deco Gem in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The Tulsa Fire Alarm Building was built in 1931 to be the reporting station for the Tulsa Fire Department. Signals from alarm boxes throughout Tulsa were routed to this building and the firemen would alert the nearest fire station to the fire. At the time of its construction, this system was the best available alarm system.
The building was designed by architect Frederick V. Kershner. I like the little terra cotta fountain dedicated to firemen in Mexico.
