Hudson Service Station in Miami Added to National Register of Historic Places
OKLAHOMA CITY — The Oklahoma Historical Society and State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) are pleased to announce the National Register of Historic Places designation for the following property in Oklahoma. The National Register of Historic Places is our nation’s official list of properties significant in our past.
Ottawa County
Hudson Service Station
218 S. Main St., Miami, Ottawa County
Located along Route 66 near the commercial center of Miami, Oklahoma, the Hudson Service Station is listed in the National Register of Historic Places for its association with transportation and as an excellent example of the House with Bays gas station architectural style associated with the “Mother Road.” Built in 1935, the Hudson Service Station provided services for motorists during the height of Route 66’s popularity in Oklahoma, as defined in the “Multiple Property Nomination for Route 66 and Associated Historic Structures, 1926–1970.”
Listing in the National Register of Historic Places is an honorific designation that provides recognition, limited protection, and, in some cases, financial incentives for these important properties. The SHPO identifies, evaluates and nominates properties for this special designation.
The State Historic Preservation Office is a division of the Oklahoma Historical Society. The mission of the Oklahoma Historical Society is to collect, preserve, and share the history and culture of the state of Oklahoma and its people. Founded in 1893 by members of the Territorial Press Association, the OHS maintains museums, historic sites, and affiliates across the state. Through its research archives, exhibits, educational programs, and publications, the OHS chronicles the rich history of Oklahoma. For more information about the OHS, please visit okhistory.org.
