Where in Tulsa?

I should have just said "north Tulsa" for my second pumpjack guess [}:)]

Excellent post CF.  I've only been in Tulsa a year, so I didn't recognize any of these locations.  WGPTWTA ("with gas prices the way they are," probably the most often repeated phrase so far in ought-eight) I haven't been able to drive around and enjoy the scenery (both natural and man-made) like I usually do after moving to a new area.  Posts like these is the reason I joined this forum, to learn more about the city that I was about to move to.

The Street View links are interesting.  I tried to find the TCC sign but I don't think it's visible.  Here's #6:

Here is a photo of the same location taken around 1960.  The current brick arch is located adjacent to the sidewalk on the west side of Main, approximately where the entrance below the Megee's sign was.

That street view shows where George Perryman's family's house stood from 1886 until around 1909, when it was split into two sections and moved off the property.  The large main portion of the house was moved to 1313 S Elwood Ave.  

Here is a photo taken around 1897 from the same "street view" location bugo posted, when the house was at 508 S Main St.  The camera position was approximately where the brick arch is now, with the lens facing west.

To beat a dead horse a little more...


Good thing we improved the parking downtown by getting rid of all those cluttering buildings!

Per #6 on street view, it is not visible on street view.  For that matter, it is not visible on the SAT images either.  If it were, it would be centered on this page where the walking trail makes a triangle (3 way intersection).
