Crystal Motel5510 W Skelly Dr, Tulsa, OKPhone:
This sign replaced a larger original sign. The original sign promoted the Coffee Shop, Free TV, the Swimming pool and Family Rates. ---------- Late 50s Postcard Mid-60s Motel Note: Looking at the mid-50s postcard, very few postcards dedicate more than three lines of text to their location, as this one does, and then fail to mention the actual address. At least they mentioned phones. The mid 60s postcard is somewhat more informative mentioning how many
rooms and how far from downtown as well as more than just the AAA affiliation.
The note about how far it was from downtown can probably be attributed
to the opening of the freeways nearby and the likely loss of some pure
tourist traffic, thus requiring an attempt to attract more business
travelers. Photo(s): 2016
