This ornament honors Tulsa's Oldest fire station No. 5.
Built in 1917, Tulsa‘s fire station number five was remodeled in 1932. The architectural style is old Spanish colonial, as seen at the top profile, rod iron balconies under arched windows and in the terra-cotta style “eyebrow” roofs. It is Tulsa‘s oldest fire station still in operation at the original site. The front piece shows a hydrant, hose and three Tulsa firefighters in action. The 2002 ornament owners are local heroes - all Tulsa firefighters
Tulsa Ornaments make great souvenirs! My husband and I always buy an ornament when traveling to help us remember where we've been. It's so much fun to reminisce when decorating the tree each year and remember all the places that we've visited and the people we've met. They also make great gifts for your out of town visitors. We have ornaments with several of the major Tulsa landmarks and you can pair them with my landmark art (I carry small 4x4 framed prints) that are perfect gifts to give your visitor to help them remember their visit with you in Tulsa.
