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

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

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