This very cool cottage style former Phillips 66 gas station sports a set of three murals on the east side service bay doors. The building stands at the intersection of E. Washington St. (Route 66) and S. Franklin Blvd./St.

Paul T. Carr built this filling station in 1932 and later expanded it to include a Pontiac automobile dealership. It became a Mobil station and the office for their oil company when the Wallis family bought it in 1968 . They restored the building to look like it did in the 1930's. In 2016 this became home to a restaurant.

xThe murals on the what were formerly the garage doors were painted by Missouri artist Ray Harvey and illustrate the stations history.

x The Phillips "P" and badge stand out on the chimney of the old station. This really is one of the more delightful cottage style station restorations on historic Route 66.

x A closer look at the Phillps 66 badge. This and the "P" shown below are great examples of what to look for on other old Phillips 66 stations.

x Here's a better look at the Phillips "P" on the chimney.
