Station Styles
Tudor Cottage
Popularized by Phillips 66 in the 20s and 30s, many companies adopted the Tudor style for their service stations.
Ice Box
In the 50s and 60s, gas stations took a more modern approach with sharp angles and, frankly, wild awnings.
Mission
Another popular station design took influence from old Spanish missions, featuring large amounts of stucco and tile.
This well-maintained Sinclair Service Station in Tulsa, Oklahoma is described as a “Spanish Eclectic” building and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Other Miscellaneous Styles
I like to call this one “The Wisconsin Pagoda.”
Big Pump, formerly located in Maryville, Missouri was a 21-foot high Art Deco style station built in 1937. It has since been relocated to King City, Missouri and is a part of the Tri-County Historical Museum.
