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
Did
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.
The
sign above the door on the side of the little station reads "Ladies".
There are two windows on the back of the building. Note how the ground
level at the back of the building rises up the wall.
The
pump drive was covered by a canopy. This other side of the building
has only a single window. I haven't found a date fir the construction
of this little station, but I'm guessing it was in the late 19-teens
or early 1920s.
