Tulsa Fairgrounds Pavilion

The Art Deco ornamentation reflects an agricultural motif as is appropriate for a fairgrounds. The interior also contains Art Deco decoration. With the Great Depression came PWA Art Deco. The Public Works Administration, part of President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, provided construction jobs that included government and public buildings. Tulsa is noted for its many Art Deco Buildings. See: Art Deco in Tulsa

Bonjour.

Tout cet Art Déco donne un style au bâtiment, et le deal de Roosevelt était intelligent de faire marcher le bâtiment en incluant les administrations publiques.
Bizzzzz.
