Early automobile service stations often went to elaborate lengths to catch the eye of the passing motorist and thence gain his/her business. In addition to these elaborate arches, this auto garage also featured the only restroom between Denver and Salt Lake City that was reserved exclusively for the use of the female traveler. While the varied enterprises that did business behind the arches over the years have come and gone, the arches still hold their place in history.
