We have this rare postcard in our DECOPOLIS Archives collection of this Barnsdall station in Tulsa. I love the theatricality of it. Looks like something out of a Hollywood fantasy version of a sign from the era. Our "William The Artist" cleaned up the postcard, got rid of cracks and stains, and enhanced the image to bring out some details (you are seeing a "small version" of the image here) and then for a bit of fun, described to ai what he wanted in a night scene, what he thought it would look like, how the sign, lettering and building would be lit up, etc. Then worked on it a bit in photoshop to give the image a DECOPOLIS glow-up. We think it turned out pretty neat! Love the description on the back of the old postcard as well
