The Public Market or Warehouse Market is located right where the old Route 66 entered downtown Tulsa. It was built in 1929 as a sort of public market where people could buy grocery items directly from farmers. By 1938, it became the Warehouse Market which eventually evolved into a Tulsa area discount grocery chain that still exists. The original location closed during the 1970s and the building was abandoned.
In the mid 1990s Home Depot purchased the property and planned to build a store behind the Market building which was to be torn down for parking. Art deco fans from around the world rallied to save the building and Home Depot finally agreed to a compromise: the building's art deco facade and tower would be preserved but the rest of the building would be demolished and much smaller brand new structure would be built behind it.
