Conoco, Shamrock, Texas
1962

A black and white photograph of a vintage Conoco gas station with distinctive Art Deco architecture, featuring a tall tower with a spire on top. The station has multiple fuel pumps and signs for Conoco and other automotive brands. There are a few cars visible, indicative of the era, and the setting appears to be a sunny day.
