The old sign tower is vine covered but still the easiest way to spot this former gas station and cafe. These buildings seem to be a style that dates to the 1950s or early 60s. The station has been reported to have been a Phillips 66. The edge of the canopy is peeking out through the brush on the left side of this photo. The station operated until at least 1985.

The garage isn't busy right now, but there seems to be a shortage of mechanics and tools as well as customers.

There is what's left of a triangular canopy over the pump island on the east corner of the Phillips 66 stations. A low wall under part of the canopy is not original to the station.

There seems to be some debate about what this building was. In the late-70s there was a "FACTORY STORE" building on the site, based on a 60s(?) photo this doesn't seem to be that building. Considering the location next to a gas station I'm going with calling it a cafe or gift shop. It's the Ozarks, so they may well have sold souvenirs and sandwiches as well and maybe a brew or two, who knows.

The big room is empty now, but all those windows seem to match the style of a cafe at the time.
