The former Sinclair Gas Station, rooftop and canopy details are a little more elevated than the normal Sinclair design.

"The small town of Canute, Oklahoma. Established in February, 1899 by an independent town company, it was named for the King of Denmark. The small town serviced the now-defunct Rock Island Railroad. Following the advent of the automobile, Canute became a popular stop along U.S. Route 66 and a large number of tourist businesses including gasoline service stations, motels and restaurants.

Unfortunately, Canute was bypassed by I-40 to the north in May, 1970 and immediately went into a decline. Its decline was furthered by the closure of nearby Clinton-Sherman Air Force base at Burns Flat, leading most of those businesses to shut down." Text Source: (visit link)
