The Oklah Airdome was designed as the summer presentation space during the warm months that the indoor Oklah Theatre might struggle without air conditioning. The Airdome launched May 9, 1909. In 1916, the Oklah Theatre improved ventilation and the Airdome was not opened for the season with the space converted. The last date of operation appears to be July 31, 1915.

Circa 1908 photo & description added credit Bartlesville Area History Museum.
“The Oklah Air Dome was built in 1908 by J.L. Overlees, located on the corner of Dewey and Fourth St. It was the place to go on those warm June evenings - until at least until October - to watch a stock company perform a different play each night. It was an open-air theater where you sat under the stars on hard wooden benches and listened to Al Jolson play the piano or William Hart, World Famous Movie star, act out a 3 act play. The theatre remained at 328 Dewey Ave until 1915.”
