One of the most photographed gas stations on Route 66, this vintage service station dates back to 1927 when construction began. Built in typical "cottage fashion," the station was the first Route 66 to be built outside of Oklahoma (Phillips' Headquarters.) The station was completed in 1928 and for the next 50 years, would serve travelers along Route 66. operating under various owners and product brands.

However, like many businesses in McLean, when I-40 bypassed the town, the business failed. It sat neglected and abandoned until the Old Route 66 Association of Texas renovated it in 1992.

The station is located on westbound Route 66 two blocks west of Main Street.
