When we took this photo in 2012 this old gas station looked like it was last used car sales lot. It looks to be a late 20s or early 1930s style gas station. It is located on SW 6th Ave. at Monroe. When we were there it looked like it was unoccupied. The Texas Historic Resources Survey lists this as a Gulf Oil Station.

x There is a one service bay attached to the south side corner. That may well have been a later addition. There is only single rather sturdy looking column supporting the canopy. There were pumps on either side of the column.

x 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
xDid 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.
