A tour of Jim Ross’ property

Oklahoma Route 66 historian and author Jim Ross gives a tour of his house, the design which was inspired by Phillips 66 cottage-style gas stations from the 1930s.

Ross also built roadside-based guest cabin on his property, which sits on a piece of land where two alignments of Route 66 run nearby.

I’ve been to Ross’ house a few times, and I never knew the story about the ceiling beams, which are designed to look like old-time truss bridges you often see on the Mother Road.
