A photographic journey through abandoned historic structures in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In this book Alison Zarrow, a high-school student and award-winning photographer, shows us her hometown from a unique perspective. Focusing solely on the abandoned and neglected, Zarrow brings Tulsa's forgotten architecture back to life. Abandoned Tulsa takes the reader inside a variety of vacant structures: the birthplace of televangelism, a Camelot-themed hotel, a deserted bowling alley, and more. Part urban adventure, part historic record, Zarrow's documentation spotlights the last human traces inside rapidly decaying buildings. Photos of fading signs and collapsed furniture provide a poignant narrative of inhabitations before and after the owners moved on. Zarrow's personal observations of these visits are framed in a historic context, providing an illuminating view of Tulsa's social and architectural development. With an introduction by Julia Solis, author of “New York Underground.”
