A Texaco Station was shaped like a giant Cowboy Hat and Boots. The hat was the station office and the boots were the restrooms. When the "Premium Tex" closed, the Hat 'n' Boots structures were moved to Oxbow Park in Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood.

The MidBeacon Hill Blog cites a postcard from the time which reads: "The site of the worlds largest cowboy boots and hat by E. Marginal Way and Corson. Colorfully designed by Louie Nasmyth, stitch for stitch and wrinkle by wrinkle in structural steel and concrete."

The Giant Boots are also in Oxbow Park.
