Oklahoma County and State "Route 66 and Associated Historic Resources in Oklahoma" Multiple property listing Description This small filling station, built with a wood frame and distinctive stone veneer about 1941, faces Route 66 from its position hugging the north side of the road about three miles east of Vinita, Oklahoma. Crisp and clean on its exterior, the masonry shows careful attention in the construction and it has been maintained well so that it continues to attract attention along the highway. The stone veneer, a native sandstone that is randomly accented with light and dark pieces, is arranged in subtly coursed rubble that suggests distinct patterns at various points. The mortar has been painted dark to accent the giraffe-like pattern of the masonry. This pattern, referred to as "Ozark Giraffe" is most commonly found in the Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri area. The gabled roof has red asphalt shingles and exposed rafter tails on the overhanging eaves on the east and west. A chimney pierces the ridge of the roof on the north end. The south elevation is the front of the building. A single door entrance on the west is flanked on the east by a large double-hung window and both are beneath a wide stone lintel that stretches across the west half of the elevation. The stone wraps around from under the window to the peak of the gable where an electric lamp is mounted in the overhanging eaves. The molding around this window consists of relatively thin rubble stacked vertically to frame the opening. (This molding appears on all openings in the building except for the air conditioner mounting on the north elevation.) The west elevation includes a large window opening on the south extreme, near the front of the building; while this may at one time have included a different arrangement, it currently holds a single plate glass window above a section that has been enclosed. The lintel and stone molding are the same as on the south elevation. One noticeable anomaly in the masonry is the appearance of a heart-shaped stone in a symmetrical arrangement low on the south end of the elevation above the ground level vent, which is actually a single large stone with mortar lines painted so that it resembles bordering rubble. The north elevation includes only a single small window in which an air conditioner has been installed; this was likely been added after construction, although the date is uncertain. The east elevation mirrors the west, with two wood framed casement windows in the opening near the front. Originally gasoline pumps were located between the station and the highway on the south and a kerosene pump was located directly east of the station. A house, built about the same time as the station, was located behind at some distance but these features are no longer present; their absence does not compromise the integrity of the remaining station building.
