The City Veterinary Hospital in Tulsa, Oklahoma was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.

It has a U-shaped one-story building constructed of light-colored brick in 1942. This is of Streamline Moderne style, with curved surfaces, designed by Hungarian-American Tulsa architect Joseph R. Koberling, Jr. The building still retains many of its original features and fixtures, only undergoing three major structural changes since its original construction.[2]

It was designed and built for Dr. William F. Irwin, a local veterinarian, and as of 2023 was still in use as a veterinary hospital. It was deemed architecturally significant "as an excellent example of the Streamline Moderne style as applied to a small animal facility."

It is located at 3550 S. Peoria Ave. on a corner property. A standalone brick sign structure close to the corner, built later than the building, was recognized as compatible but deemed non-contributing in 2008, and it remains displaying "City Veterinary Hospital" in 2023.[3]
