Episode 25: Glass House Restaurant

In the 1960s and 70s, the Glass House Restaurant was a must-go-to attraction in Oklahoma. Known for its unique architecture, fantastic food, and even better service, the Glass House was the first restaurant to be built over a U.S. public highway. Attached to this arched building were two full-service gas stations for travelers on both sides of the road. This month on Amplified Oklahoma, we’re looking at the legacy of this iconic stop on Interstate 44 through interviews from the Oklahoma Oral History Research Program’s archives. Later, we talk with Kathleen Duchamp, Director of the Eastern Trails Museum in Craig County, about the history of the Glass House and its impact on the community of Vinita, Oklahoma.
