Texaco

Rosalia, Washington

established in 1923, the Texaco station here was one of the first in the area...the business ceased pumping gas in 1980, and the site was subsequently donated to the town...now it serves as the local tourist/visitor centre

A grand old building. There are these same constructed icons of the past in our rural area.
