Phillips 66 Service Station

Retro roadside
In McLean, Texas
On Route 66

This small Tudor Revival gas station in McLean, TX, was built in 1929 in the cottage style the company used so its stations would fit residential streets; the National Park Service says Phillips chose McLean for its first Texas station, though a station in Turkey, Texas, that opened in 1928 also claims the title. It sold fuel for about five decades, closed in 1977 and was restored in 1992 by the Old Route 66 Association of Texas. It stands on the old Route 66 alignment through town, a short walk from the Devil's Rope museum.
