World’s Largest Milk Bottle

If you are new to OKC you might have noticed the giant Milk Bottle as you cruised down Classen Avenue. Unofficially (who really keeps records like this?) we call it the World's Largest Milk Bottle. Located at 2426 N. Classen, this landmark was built in 1930 and measures 20 feet tall. Originally the building was known as "Triangle Grocery and Market", the name of the building was changed to "Milk Bottle Grocery" shortly after a large metal milk bottle sign was added to the roof in 1948. It is listed on the National Register of Historic places and even sits on an old alignment of historic Route 66.

 

Over the years, the sign has advertised different dairy producers, and nowadays carries the Braum's emblem. The store under the bottle has housed everything from a liquor store to a real estate office. The current tenant is a Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwich shop and a must-visit when you head over to Oklahoma City's booming Asian District.
