Spanish Style Gas Stations
This category is called “Spanish” style, but I am always loose in definitions of architecture, so this may encompass stations with a decidedly “stucco” vibe more than anything. If I’m feeling Spanish-y, it goes here. Includes Mission, Mediterranean, Spanish Revival, and all sorts.
