The Rose Bowl Events Center, formerly known as the Rose Bowl bowling alley in Tulsa, has been placed on the market for $1.1 million, according to a flyer received from Kevin Anderson & Associates.
The distinctively shaped building at 7419 E. 11th St. (aka Route 66) was built as a bowling alley in 1961 until its closure in 2005. AMF shuttered the facility and slapped it with a noncompete clause, rendering it useless to be reopened as a bowling alley.
Chris Whinery of Whinery Mortgage renovated the facility and reopened it as the Rose Bowl Events Center in 2008. However, the massive 33,000-square-foot building was open only fitfully.

Also, the Realtor is offering the Rose Bowl Events Center and an adjacent building and lot for $1.4 million in a package deal. That flyer can be downloaded here.
Anderson also is listing other historically significant Route 66 properties in Tulsa:
— The George Tune’s automotive building and an adjacent cottage-style gas station list for $200,000. The gas station at 2446 E. 11th St. was built in 1928. The flyer for the property can be found here.
— The former Swinney’s Hardware building at 32 S. Lewis Ave. (aka Route 66) is listed for $785,000. The building was built about 1930, according to assessor’s records. The flyer for the property can be found here.
Those interested in any of the properties should call Anderson at 918-406-3197.
