Hat 'n' Boots

Opening in the 1950's, the Hat
'n' Boots gas station was a unique sight for travelers searching for
a place to put gas in the car. Even during an era where unique signage
and architecture could be found, the Hat 'n' Boots gas station stood out
from the crowd. Unfortunately, the 1980's brought leaner times and the
Hat 'n Boots became
in danger of meeting a destination with the saddle in the sky.

Here are a few photos of the Signal Gas in Portland, OR. This deco delight was recently restored to its earlier incarnation and the old petrol pump is for the most part largely intact. The neon is very prominent on this treasure of a building.
This gas station, which originally opened in 1939, was nominated for the National Register of Historic Places. Developer Rob Phillips renovated this in 2003 and it is now being operated as a tobacco shop.
