Admiral Twin Burns

Written by Aaron Sheppard, City Reporter Friday, 03 September 2010 21:25

Looking over the ground that once housed a nine-story monster sized drive in screen, co-owner Blake Smith told Tulsa Today he is in shock. There is not much left except the foundation and artful concrete that lined the bottom of the screen tower. A cherished icon is reduced to mud and ash.

Built in 1952, first named The Modernaire, the Admiral Twin was a Tulsa Route 66 landmark. Smith purchased the Admiral Twin in 2000.

Smith said he would be willing to rebuild even to the original height, but a full restoration was unlikely as costs would be exorbitant.
