Roadside Architecture Log
June 5th, 2008
Debra Jane Seltzer is a New Yorker on a mission to photograph roadside architecture across the country. Her travels and road trips take her all over the nation, and she documents it all, obviously a keen observer of roadside life. She meticulously categorizes and indexes her photos by state and type, which includes a nice mid century modern section. A fantastic online museum of roadside design, the organization works. I was able to find this beauty - the Neptune Sub building in OKC I have admired in the past.

Neptune Subs was one of two hyperblic parabaloid buildings built c. 1958 for a burger franchise. I can’t remember the name, though. The second one was on North May and for years was disguised as a Long John Silvers. They stuck a mast on the roof, giving the appearance of the prow of a sailing ship. It met the wrecking ball about three or four years ago…
