The former Whiting Brothers headquarters still stands at 728 W. Hopi Drive across the street from the Wigwam Motel. This building was once a gas station. While the roof of this building has obviously been modified the curved corners of the building itself match the style of the gas station. This building was apparently built over a few years from 1943 to 1946, I'd guess through a series of additions. It was part of a larger complex that included a garage as well as a service station. In 1975 this was Hensley’s Whiting Brothers Service Station.

Whiting Brothers also had a couple of motels in Holbrook over the years, one is the current Globetrotter Lodge.

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.
