Along Tulsa’s stretch of Route 66 on East 11th Street and nearby downtown, several surviving historic sites reflect the city’s commercial and architectural past. The former Hawk Dairy at 2415 East 11th Street was completed in 1948 as a post-World War II Modernist dairy processing plant with an old fashioned soda fountain popular with Tulsans; by the late 1940s, Tulsa had nine dairy plants in operation, and Hawk Dairy bought milk from nearly 600 area dairy farmers. Hawk Dairy was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2008. The Warehouse Marker at Elgin Street downtown was completed in 1929; its one-story building has a terra cotta adorned tower and two blue medallions, one showing a goddess with a sheaf of wheat and a cornucopia and the other a god with an oil derrick and train engine. Other nearby National Register of Historic Places sites include Casa Loma Hotel at 2626-2628 E. 11th Street, Sinclair Service Station at 3501 E. 11th Street, and Will Rogers High School at 3909 E. Fifth Place.
