It was built in 1932; the architect was Leland I Shumway. The building is in the
PWA Art Deco style, built of blond brick with terra cotta ornamentation, and is considered one of the prime examples of Art Deco architecture in Tulsa
.
It was home to the
Tulsa Crude of the United States Hockey League played there in 2001 and 2002 before folding. It was home to the Tulsa Revolution of MASL for the latter portion of the 2014–15 season, the team's last.[3]
