This unusual Phillips
66 service station is located at the corner
of MN-45 and MN-33 in Cloquet, Minnesota. Erected
in 1956, the building was the prototype for
a service station design that Wright and his
colleagues envisioned would sweep the nation.
Some visions remain small, however -- this is
the only such station that was ever built. Still
open and pumping gas, the station is also just
down the street from a
great roadside mural.
More information about the design goals of this structure
is online here.
