This abandoned 1939 Whiting Brothers gas station is located on Navajo Blvd. between W. Carlos Are& Encanta Drive. It features a Streamline Moderne style that became popular in the 1930's and is visible in the curved corners of the building. A faded red stripe around the parapet was typical of these stations. This photo was taken in 2012.

xBy 2015 the building site had become a little more overgrown with weeds. Both these first two pictures show a tiny bit of the old Whiting Brothers sign laying on it's side on the roof. Sometimes the camera distorts an image, but in this case that canopy really is unusually long. Most of the old sign is laying on top of the canopy and only a short bit extends back onto the building itself.

Photo(s): 2012 and 2015

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
