@saforwardlook -- Cucamonga!!!
Wow, a small world - there is currently a restoration effort at reviving that historical building on Rosemead Blvd here in Rancho Cucamonga. I need to take a photo of it next time I am down there.
I am grateful the mountains behind it never change - I never tire of seeing them and each day they look just a little bit different due to weather patterns and clouds, etc.
Thanks for sharing!!

This station got a lotta of architecxtural interest.
Best I was able to find was Anaheim, CA, at the corner of Harbor and Katella. If that was right, its surely not there now.
Date of photo above and below is 1956.
Cleveland OH, circa 1930's

Palm Springs: Tramway gas station designed by architect Albert Frey - 1965
I was able to find a video of the restoration effort of this fueling station/garage in which the first phase is complete and there are still plans to add the garage to the restoration effort in the future. Rosemead Blvd is also a part of Route 66 that goes through this town in which I reside.
I really like this town for its efforts to preserve the past. I actually live in an area of this town in which older homes still are standing and have generally been preserved and their is even a Victorian home just three houses down the street from where I live. My home was built in 1929 as an old farm house and it still stands today as built. The photo was taken in the dead of winter a couple years ago now.

This popped up on a FB group and while there's no real architecture, a street/strip car filling up back when it was 21.9 cents a gallon is worth posting.
This must have been during the cold weather too as evidenced by the Pontiac's exhaust and the dry gas advertisements on the pumps.

What's a 1959 Olds 88 doing on a Dodge lot?
Back to our regular programming: the lot signs are what makes the dealership here. The architecture, not so much IMHO. But the signs...
