This was the first location chosen by the Phillips Petroleum Company to build a Phillips 66 gas station in Texas. Building was completed in 1929. Fun fact, the company developed a high-octane gasoline in 1927 and ran a test drive on the brand new Route 66 where the car reached a cruising speed of 66 mph so the fuel was named Phillips 66. The station closed in 1977 and the building was restored in 1991. I liked the way this was staged. It reminded me of dollhouse furniture sitting all by itself in this open area. You will see it on First Street in McLean, TX
