This is a classic service station.  Built in 1932 by Patrick O'Donnell, this station used the old 1916 Standard Oil of Ohio design.  The architectural style is called, "House with Canopy."

By the 1940s, this station was selling Phillips 66 products, then later sold Sinclair products.

The station served travelers until 1975.

The Route 66 Association of Illinois Preservation Committee began the process to save the station in 1995.

On November 9, 1997, this building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. In the Spring of 1999, it was purchased by the Village of Odell, Illinois for continued historic restoration purposes.
