Gas Stations...
Art Deco gas station
An Art Deco gas station from the 1930s on 38th. You can see where the three bays were added on the right by the mid-building location of the three decorative horizontal lines, an Art Deco trademark.

Boulder gas station
Vintage gas station in Boulder. I would guess this is an old Phillips 66 with the original
canopy replaced with the one with the yellow arches. Phillips 66 gas stations had the
corner office with the slanted windows.

The A-Frame Lounge in Commerce City on Highway 76.
A combination of gas station, restaurant, bar, hotel & interesting roadside architecture.

Johnson’s Corner
World-famous Johnson’s Corner truckstop on I-25, originally built 1952 long before I-25,
when the route alongside was still Highway 87. (Click on the photo to enlarge).
While most well-known for their cinnamon rolls, my favorite feature is out back, the little
Johnson’s Corner Chapel:
Johnson’s Corner can also be seen in Bill Murray’s 1995 film Larger Than Life.

Art Deco gas station
I drove by this station on E. Colfax yesterday and saw that is is currently being gutted.
They have kept some of the exterior walls.

Art Deco gas station
This old gas station on Colfax Avenue, is perhaps Denver’s best example of an Art Deco
or Streamline Modern gas station.

Johnson’s Corner Gas Station
Designed 1937 by Eugene Groves, this all-concrete structure was moved to it’s current location for restoration in Prospect New Town, Longmont.
It’s in danger these days as it is very expensive to restore. The possibilities can be seen though, in this other Eugene Groves design.

Sinclair pumps
A couple of old Sinclair gas pumps on South Broadway that have seen a better day…
In their heyday, they looked something like this.
