The Shell Gas Station on Yosemite Blvd. in La Grange, California, was built in 1925 by Shell USA.[1]

It was asserted to be "A rare vernacular example of this architectural type and period" and was described succinctly:

Prefabricated tin service station comprised of main building, projecting covered service area and separate restroom unit. Finials decorate the four corners of the flat-roofed service area. Poignantly distinctive restroom unit also prefabricated tin; completely free standing, with rounded lines reflective of nascent Moderne.[2]
