Phillips painted their stations dark green with orange and blue trim. This station was the first Phillips 66 built in Texas and is a famous Route 66 landmark. The Route 66 Association's McLean chapter owns the station today. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. |

| Petrified Wood Gas Station Texas Tourist Camp Complex Decatur, TX | ||

The Petrified Wood Gas Station is part of the Texas Tourist Camp Complex. In 1927, E.F. Boydston bought this site, a former feedlot, and built a gas station and shed. He allowed campfires and overnight stays for travelers. The Texas Lunchroom was built in 1929. By 1931, Boydston added three wooden cabins with garages which were later faced with rock. In 1935, more cabins and garages were added and the lunchroom was renamed the Texas Café and covered with stone to match the other buildings.
The Café closed in the 1960s, when the new highway was built, but was reopened in 1993. It is now known as the Whistle Stop Café. The gas station and cabins closed in 1988 and are now used as office space. The structures are on the National Register of Historic Places and are a Texas Historic Landmark.

The Magnolia Petroleum Building was built in 1920. The flatiron-shaped building had offices above and sold gas under the canopy. The building is also referred to as the Triangle Point Building and the KLIF Building. KLIF, a Dallas radio station, used the building for its studios from 1964-1980. There is a similar but larger Magnolia Petroleum Building in Oklahoma City, OK. For more, see this website.
This former El Paso station was probably built as a Conoco station. It is now used as the Esquivel service garage. |
