Phillips 66 Station - TX (McLean)

About

This tiny cottage-style Phillips 66 station is one of McLean’s most recognizable reminders of the years when Route 66 drove the town’s roadside economy. Designed to resemble a small English cottage, the station features steep gables, tall windows and a prominent front chimney—a domestic-looking style petroleum companies used to make early service stations fit comfortably into residential communities. The station served motorists for nearly five decades before closing in 1977.

Today, the restored station is surrounded by bright Phillips 66 pumps and period roadside details that make it an easy photo stop while exploring McLean’s historic district. The building was donated to the local Old Route 66 Association in 1991 and restored by the Association in 1992; ownership was later transferred to the City of McLean in 2006. Preservation work has continued in recent years, helping keep this unusually small piece of early service-station architecture standing along the Mother Road.
