Originally built in the 1920s, the Milk Bottle building is a 391.5 square foot triangular building located between Military Avenue, Classen Boulevard, and NW 24th street. The building has housed several businesses over the years, among them a hatter, a bahn mi shop, a florist, and in the 1940s a Flying Chicken (which was possibly the first food delivery business in the city). The building is most recognized by its defining feature, a large milk bottle atop the building. Designed by Arthur D. Nichols, the milk bottle was originally an ad for Sterling Milk Co., then Meadow Gold, and later Townley’s Dairy. Today the bottle serves as an ad for Braum's Ice Cream.
