About five blocks west of the main intersection in the town, the West Winds Motel is positioned directly on the north side of Route 66, a location believed by many businesses in that day to have a commercial advantage since it would more easily draw in the west- bound traveler. The property consists of three features, two buildings and a highway sign. The white stucco buildings and red tile-shaped metal of the mansard roof of the West Winds Motel once formed an imposing structure in Erick. A neon sign that once flashed the name of the motel beneath a bucking bronco is located adjacent to the highway based in a rectangular planter made of decorative stone. Two buildings at right angles create two sides to a courtyard and the owner's house on the west (a separate property not included in this nomination) forms the third side of the wide U configuration. A gravel drive loops around the courtyard so that there are two street exitslentrances as well as an inner loop that connects the west side to the office area in the east building. The long rectangular building on the north contains four motel units separated by four open garage bays. Since access to the motel rooms is gained from within the garages, the south elevation of this row of motel units lacks doorways. Two double-hung windows flanked by decorative shutters and partially protected by awnings are centered in each motel unit. Wainscoting of flat decorative stone coven the elevation below the level of the windows; the wainscoting rises on each side of the garage bays, and then wraps around to the interior to create a border for the opening. Stucco completes the elevation above the wainscoting. The overall appearance of this building, with its open bays for garages, the gently arched entrances to the garages, and the wainscoting that rises to the arch suggests the contours of an arcade without actually presenting one. The roof suggests mission revival parapet design with a roofing tile-shaped metal mansard trim between low relief, flat peaks that rise in steps above each motel unit. A vertical diamond, the same red hue as the tile, projects outward from the center of each peak. The building on the east includes a parapet of the same design as that on the south, but the elevation below is different, lacking garage bays which means also that (1) the wainscoting follows the line of the window sills, and (2) the lodging units have visible doors on each the four units (including the southmost unit which is the office). The canopy that stretches forth along the building is not an arcade, with its steel piers and the wide metal band wrapping

    Route 66 von Quapaw, OK bis Texola, OK http://www.historic-route66.de/allgemein/druckversion.php Route 66 von Quapaw, OK bis Texola, OK http://www.historic-route66.de/allgemein/druckversion.php Quapaw, Oklahoma 1891 zogen einzelne Farmer von Kansas aus südwärts und gründete die kleine Ortschaft, benannt nach dem Stamm der Quapaws. Seitdem findet hier alljährlich am 4. Juli das älteste Pow Wow der USA statt, einem Indianerfest, wo ausdrücklich auch „Bleichgesichter“ eingeladen sind. Die Gemeinde lebt größtenteils von der Landwirtschaft bis auf einem kurzen Abschnitt zwischen 1897 und den 1920er Jahren, wo der Bergbau florierte und Zink und Blei gefördert wurde. Die Geschichte wird auf einigen Wandzeichnungen aufgezeigt. 632,3 Unterquere die Eisenbahnstrecke 635,4 Folge der US-69 nach links in der langgezogenen Kurve Hole in the Wall Conoco Station (101 S Main St) Die kleine Tankstelle wurde um 1930 erbaut. Um Baumaterial zu sparen, besitzt sie keine eigene Rückwand, sondern wurde einfach an das letzte reguläre Gebäude an der Main St angelehnt. Ab etwa 1938 wurde statt Conoco die Marke Philips 66 vertrieben. Zeitweilig war das Gebäude auch unter dem Namen White Castle Beauty Shop bekannt. Weiter der US-69 South folgen 630,9 Hinter dem Ort folge der Rechtskurve der US-69 2008 wurde die Station restauriert, in die Linda und Bobby Allen ein kleines Spook Light Museum untergebracht haben und gerne mit anderen Route 66 Begeisterten Erfahrungen austauschen. Immer wieder kann in der Gegend nachts ein seltsames Lichtphänomen beobachtet werden, was den Menschen seit GPS-Koord.: 36.9329, -94.87733 Jahrhunderten Rätsel aufgibt. Bisher konnte keine Theorie zweifelsfrei bewiesen werden.
