East < GO > West

This little station was built in 1923, 3 years before Route 66 came along. By 1933 it was a Phillips 66 station. It sits at the northwest corner of NM Hwy 314 and Main Street in Los Lunas. A single exterior door on the east end of the buillding has been removed. There are very few old stations of this style left in New Mexico.

The building was renovated about 2015 and two exterior doors have been removed on the west side of the building. The pump island was also removed at that time. At an earlier time there was a lift or ramp of some sort used to service a car. One missing door on each end of the building allowed access to the restrooms. After the renovations the building has been painted in a manner different than the original which was white with dark trim along the base and widow and door trim as well as the louver in the gables. Metal roofing has replaced shingles.
