This Mission Revival style gas station operated 1915-1971. It sat vacant and decaying for decades, threatened by redevelopment pressure in a fast-growing suburb. Its garage got demolished after a 2011 roof collapse. Enthusiasts formed a nonprofit in 2012, getting the owner to donate the building. Restoration work started in 2013; the gas station then reopened in 2015 as a museum and gift shop. A preservation success story, it has won multiple awards.
