"On the northeast corner of Santa Clara and Oak Street is a rare example of an Art-Deco (pre-fabricated metal) gas station. The station consists of a small rectangular building with an attached metal canopy supported by fluted metal columns. The word Texaco flanked by red stars appears on the canopy cornice. A two-bayed concrete garage is located to the rear. The site was previously occupied by a small store and a residence." (visit link)
