World's Largest Milk Bottle

A sliver of red brick on a busy Oklahoma City street carries a sheet-metal milk bottle on its roof.

The National Park Service says the Milk Bottle Grocery, a triangular building of about 350 square feet, was built in 1930 at 2426 N. Classen Boulevard, on the original alignment of Route 66 through Oklahoma City, at an old streetcar stop and in the right-of-way of a busy street. The bottle was added around 1948, and the NPS says the bottle has always been rented separately from the businesses below it. Over the years those businesses have included a cleaners, a realty office, a fruit market, a barbecue shack, a grocery and a Vietnamese sandwich shop.
