The Service Station has been turned into a kitchen and a small indoor eating area. The bays have outdoor seating and there is further seating on the roof of the service building. The old gas station sign has been repurposed for the Cafe. The food was actually pretty good!

Common Property Name: Bennett's Auto Service
Construction Date: 1940 Modified 1945

Physical Description: Bennett's Auto Service station faces north on Bill Williams Ave. It has two concrete block units added to the original unit. The floors are cement, the roof supports are steel beams resting on the common wall. The streamline moderne detailing in the rounded corners of the canopy give this structure a slight commercial art moderne appearance.

Bennett's Auto Service is a gas and service station built on the second site of the community band shell. It is the only art moderne structure in the District. It represents the continuous automobile tourist industry in Williams and has remained in business as such since its construction. This building, because it is less than fifty years old, is a non-contributor to the District.
