What is Bristow Firestone Service Station?
The station is a single-story building laid out in an L shape. Its design leans on Art Deco, the sleek, geometric style that was at its height around 1929 and gave even small roadside buildings a modern look.
It has a second name, the Mounce Building, which appears in its historic record. The Firestone name ties it to one of the best-known tire brands of the era, a reminder that tires, not just gasoline, kept early motorists moving.
History of Bristow Firestone Service Station
Built in 1929, the station went up during the busy early years of Route 66, which was designated in 1926. Records place it on US Route 66 in Oklahoma, so it served drivers on the national highway from the start.
The National Register listing came in 2007. Bristow has two other listed auto buildings within half a mile, the Texaco Service Station from 1923 and the Bristow Tire Shop, so the town offers an unusual small cluster of car-era architecture.
Visiting Bristow Firestone Service Station: tips
The station sits on the old route through Bristow, so no detour is needed. It is listed as an open business, so view it from the sidewalk and stay out of the way of customers and staff. Ten to fifteen minutes is plenty for photos.
