Highways on four sides box the compact one-square-mile area of Downtown Tulsa, which sits just northeast of a large bend in the Arkansas River.
A building boom in the early 1910's, funded by oil money, has given Tulsa a heritage to be proud of - some of the best examples of Art Deco architecture anywhere in the United States.
Major landmarks in downtown Tulsa include the Tulsa Union Depot and Jazz Hall of Fame, The Tulsa Performing Arts Center, the Tulsa convention center and the Boston Avenue Methodist Church.
