The oil boom that occurred around the Tulsa area flooded the city with wealth in the 1920’s. This sudden explosion of money led to Tulsa having a unique architectural phenomenon: a cohesive downtown style! You can, of course, walk the downtown without a guide; however, the explanation and the stories that come with this area are beautiful!
