Tulsa’s Art Deco Gem: A Building That Cleans Rugs (and Turns Heads)
Save 20% When You Drop Off at Our Historic Location – 1012 S. Elgin Ave.
Tulsa is known for its oil boom roots, jazz-era elegance, and a skyline dotted with Art Deco masterpieces — but tucked just south of downtown is a quieter, lesser-known treasure: the pink-trimmed building at 1012 S. Elgin Avenue, home to Day & Nite Rugs.
At first glance, it might seem like a charming little shop. But look closer and you’ll see something rare — a surviving example of everyday Art Deco, the kind that once defined Tulsa’s neighborhoods, not just its skyscrapers.
A Building with Bones — and Style
Our building is believed to have been constructed in the early-to-mid 20th century, during the heyday of Tulsa’s oil boom and architectural golden era. This was a time when buildings weren’t just built for utility — they were crafted to last, and to look beautiful doing it.
The Art Deco movement, which blossomed in the 1920s and 30s, emphasized bold geometry, sleek lines, symmetry, and optimism in structure. Tulsa quickly became a hidden gem for Art Deco enthusiasts — and our building stands as a proud, humble chapter in that story.
While not as grand as the Boston Avenue Methodist Church or the Philcade Building, 1012 S. Elgin carries the same design DNA — with streamlined forms, subtle stucco work, and accent colors that speak to the era’s enduring cool.
That Pink? It’s Not Just Pretty — It’s Period-Perfect
The soft blush pink we use to trim our façade isn’t random. It’s a subtle nod to Art Deco’s pastel phase, echoing the warmth and personality of the era without ever trying too hard. It sets us apart from the concrete and glass of today, just like the craftsmanship inside sets us apart from modern shortcuts.
The look is distinct. The vibe is unforgettable. And yes — it makes your rugs look even better when you pick them up.
What’s Happening Inside?
Behind those Deco walls, we’re preserving art of a different kind:
- Hand-knotted Persian heirlooms
- Delicate silk and Navajo weavings
- Wool, cotton, and antique synthetics
Each rug is cleaned in a full immersion wash, restoring beauty while respecting the history woven into every fiber — much like the building we call home.
