Visiting a client yesterday. They had decided to remove the metal facade from their shipping bay to reveal and clean up the brick beneath, and they found. . .  Tulsa Fire Station #12 |

They knew part of the building was an old fire station, but they didn't know the original signage was there.

Now how cool is that. I wonder if this station is anywhere in the Beryl Ford Collection... |

I've seen old maps that indicate that 40th Street once was the street that went across the railroad tracks, not 41st.
So it would have made some sense to put a small fire station there, just so that folks west of the tracks could get some sort of fire protection.

I had a friend of mine living in that area right after I graduated high school that had a Tulsa street address on Michael Dr, believe it or not. And no RM, I doubt it was named for you...LOL. |

Patton street has one house left on it. Go past the dry cleaners and turn right. The expressway took out all the rest. |

I'd love to see a picture of the whole building. I tried for a street view of this area and couldn't figure which building it might have been before the brick was exposed. Great find though!
