Downtowner Motor Inn Tulsa,OK - a photo on Flickriver

            Downtowner Motor Inn located at 4th and Cheyenne in Tulsa,OK.  A  public parking lot is currently on the site where the motel once stood.
Note this 93 room property opened for business on October 5th 1961 and operated under the Downtowner name until 1981.  The 5 story property was razed in 2012 after sitting vacant for many years.  Its also worth noting the facility featured an onsite "Downtowner restaurant".  In 1968 the restaurant was renamed "Mr Perky's Pancake House" which was a wholly owned subsidiary of Downtowner Motor Inns.  By the mid 1970's the "Mr Perky's" division had been dissolved and the restaurants were sold to individual operators and subsequently renamed.
On a final note the governor of Oklahoma (J. Howard Edmondson) cut the ribbon for the opening of this Downtower location which was the 18th unit for the rapidly growing chain of hotels.

***Note I have a lack on information as to what the motel was branded/named following the removal of the Downtowner brand in 1981.
