The vacant 1951 Truxton Cafe and Texaco Gas Station was one of the first businesses in and still stands along Route 66 on the east side of town as a reminder of the heyday of this little town. That small building on the right was the restrooms.

Donald Dilts opened the cafe and gas station after he and his Partner Clyde McCune had opened a nearby garage in anticipation of traffic from a proposed but never realized dam project on the Colorado River. There is what appears to be fairly large addition on the back of the building that is just peaking out on the left in this photo.

This photo gives a better view of the property including the sign and light posts as well as the empty pump islands out front.
