North Main Street, Tulsa's historic "skid row" · Tulsa's Arts District · The Philcade Building, Tulsa's Deco District
Tulsa Tours operates out of the historic Philcade Building at 511 S Boston Ave in downtown Tulsa's Deco District, and holds keys to several locked historic lobbies used on its main Art Deco and history walking tours. Alongside those general-history tours, the company runs a seasonal True Crime & Ghost Tour focused on North Main Street, a stretch once known as Tulsa's skid row that has since redeveloped into the Arts District, anchored today by Cabin Boys Brewpub's downtown taproom, the tour's meeting point.
Tulsa Tours has been named a top-10 U.S. walking tour by AARP and carries an active Yelp listing with reviews of its downtown offerings.
Sources
The operator describes North Main Street as an area where "vice raged" before its transformation into the Arts District, and frames the tour as pairing true-crime history with "mysterious hauntings" tied to former brothel operators and musicians associated with the area. The tour concludes with what the operator calls a finale in a dark alley.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing material, not documented history independently verified for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tour covers, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
