A grocery store was added in 1935, providing produce and staples for locals who didn't want to drive to the city for small grocery items, foreshadowing the modern convenience store. In 1937, a small cafe was added. The station became a local gathering spot and a well-known safe haven for African American travelers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aebca570630c17fe38ca43/1622072216210-FMH4SNVLJMNEM9P8AB7N/Mr+and+Mrs+Alonia+and+Pearline+Threatt.jpg About - Motorists could get fuel, food, and park their vehicles on the property to sleep for the night. Dances were held on the weekend. People would come from Oklahoma City and other areas to dance in the field, where tables were set up to serve barbeque, beer, and soda pop. Negro baseball league games were played on the property and attracted spectators from the area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aebca570630c17fe38ca43/1622072024152-SD800PF09X3KPDVAJRL1/TFS2.png About - The Threatt Filling Station served locals and travelers along U.S. Route 66 through the Roaring '20s, the Great Depression, the War Years, and the Post-War Boom, finally closing in the 1970s. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aebca570630c17fe38ca43/1622070957839-B21TJS4WJNX54R92NGR6/Advertisement+in+local+newpaper.jpg About - The National Parks Service listed the Threatt Filling Station on the National Register Of Historic Places in 1995. It is historically significant for its association with U.S. Route 66 and an example of an African American-owned business on the highway during the era of segregation. From 1915 through the 1960s, the Threatt Filling Station was a popular roadside stop. The Threatt Filling Station is also significant as an outstanding example of Oklahoma's vernacular commercial architecture built in the Bungalow / Craftsman style. https://threattfillingstation.org/thefamily daily 0.75 2021-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60aebca570630c17fe38ca43/1622071549938-FGYEK3CYU7KCIVUXD8FN/Edward+D+Threatt+holding+pump+nozzle.jpg The Family - The Threatt family homesteaded in the Luther area, a part of modern-day Oklahoma that was opened to United States settlement in 1889.
