This attractive gabled building was built in 1922. The gable roof has
asphalt shingles. The building is included in the National Register of
Historic Places as part of the Miami Downtown Historic District. Stuccoed
columns support the canopy.
As well as the two service bays facing the front of the station there
is a third bay in a flat roofed section on the back of the building. None
of the garage doors are original in style.
The
sidelites by the main pedestrian entry have been filled in but the transome
windows above the door and front display window are still in place.
The transome window over the east side display window has been filled
in. There is a single double hung window between the entry door and
the large corner window. There is a filled in door and window on the
east that probably served a restroom originally.

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.
