Auto Awning
Harlan Motors Harlan Ford, Lincoln, Mercury Downtown Okmulgee, OK You don't see a lot of these great old dealerships still downtown, still showcasing cars in the streetside showroom. The horrible blue awning should really get the tornado treatment though. There's another one down the street, Bailey Motors (a Chrysler/Dodge dealer), but I'll get that shot some other time. The Chevy dealer has a modern location north of town on the highway, but remnants of its original location remain west of this Ford dealership. I was reading about Okmulgee's history, and they had (and still have) many great architectural and historic specimens from the turn of the century oil boom. The town once had more millionaires per capita than any other city in the nation, including New York, perhaps because it was so close to Tulsa and the discovery of oil drew everyone down the road quickly. The town existed for a long time before that, as the capital of the Creek/Muscogee Nation. When the oil dried up, so did the town, however, and lots of it are falling into disrepair, and despite the great old houses and structures having a lot of character, they look ready to collapse into themselves. It's a pretty depressing sight, if you ask me. Auto Repair -- Hoboken, NJ, April 2, 2010 To most viewers, it is just a large garage on Newark between Park and Willow, especially when the top of the garage was covered in ivy, as it was until recently. However, with a certain light, a viewer can discern its previous life as an auto repair shop.
