All of North Main Street and South Main Street down to about 260 S. Main were Route 66 in Miami. Address numbers higher than about 260 South were not Route 66.
The Hotel Vinita is at the corner of Wilson Street (Route 66) and Canadian in Vinita. As printed on its matchcover, the address for the Roundup Café in Vinita was “Main Street.” But there is no Main Street in Vinita so I think that the Roundup was on the main street (lower case) of Vinita, OK, which presumably was Route 66.
The Hotel Mason in Claremore (built as the St. Regis and razed in 1986) was on the northwest corner of Lynn Riggs Blvd. and Will Rogers Blvd. (Lynn Riggs was Route 66: Will Rogers Blvd. was not 66.)
Admiral Place was the first alignment of Route 66 on the east side of Tulsa but it was bypassed in 1932 and I have never seen a matchcover from Admiral Place that I can say dates back to early 1930s. Route 66 was moved from Admiral to 11th Street until it left Tulsa to the west on Southwest Blvd. The Tulsa Holiday Inn claims it was on US 66 with an address of New Sapulpa Road but it looks to me that it was really on Interstate 44 and about 1000’ south of Southwest Blvd. The road once called Sapulpa Road I think was Southwest Blvd. so it was a legitimate Route 66 alignment (see the Midway Courts and the Texas Drive In matchcover images).
The Lorraine Hotel in Sapulpa was at the Northeast corner of Main Street and Lee Avenue putting it just south of Route 66 on Dewey Avenue. The Lorraine Hotel burned down in 1949 so the matchcover images you see are from before 1949. But the matchcovers imply the hotel was on US 66 so they are included. The St. James Hotel was across the street from the Lorraine Hotel and also just south of Route 66 too. Matchcover images from the St. James Hotel are also included since it was mentioned in Jack Rittenhouse’s booklet “A Guide Book to Highway 66” published in 1946.
Main Street and West 4th Street were Route 66 in Bristow. There are some matchcovers listed without an explicit location but because they were traveler-oriented businesses we assume that they were on Route 66, it being the main road through town. The Hamburger King was at the corner of Main and 4th. The Roland Hotel was mentioned in “A Guide Book to Highway 66”.
Route 66 was East 2nd Street and Broadway in Edmond. Martin’s Courts and the Royce Café are both mentioned in “A Guide Book to Highway 66.”
A linen postcard claims Garland’s restaurant was on Route 66 (23rd) in Oklahoma City but it was actually one block south on 22nd but we included the matchcover because of the postcard reference. The Split-V Charcoal Broiler references US Highway 66 so the matchcover image is included as well but the business was also one block off 66.
The Calmez Hotel opened on Route 66 in Clinton in 1929 and operated into the 1980s. It was demolished in 2000. The Granot Lodge was located at 730 South 10th and also on Route 66. Choctaw was the early name for what is today Gary Blvd. The Ramada Inn was on Gary Blvd. (Route 66). The Y complex was on an early alignment of Route 66 on Neptune Drive at Watson Road south of downtown Clinton.
The Plaza Motel in Elk City was located at 1320 West Third Street which was Route 66. Most matchcovers from the Story Hotel show a map-like diagram of Elk City on 66 between Amarillo and Oklahoma City. However a bird’s-eye photo taken of downtown Elk City in 1939 and available on Facebook shows the Story Hotel to be on the west side of Main Street between 5th and 6th Streets. In his book “EZ 66 Guide for Travelers” Jerry McClanahan only mentions a 3rd Street alignment through Elk City for Route 66, not Main Street. But when I poke around Google street view, I can see a maroon-and-white Historic Route 66 sign on south Main just north of the railroad tracks at the 7th Street intersection. Why is that Historic Route 66 sign there? Was Main Street an early alignment? Since the Story Hotel was mentioned in “A Guide Book to US Highway 66” matchcovers from the Story Hotel are included in this database for now. If you know more about Route 66 through Elk City over the years, please contact me.
