Early Gas Station
--------------------
One of the city's earliest gas stations, built in 1927 by W.H. Lewis, it was
purchased in 1929 by Independent Oil (became Phillips 66). They remodeled
it from a frame structure with rubblestone veneer to Tudor Revival Style.
Independent owner-operators ran it; among them John Hichman 1930s-63
& Bill Johnson 1963-77. Phillips sold the building in 1974 to Wm. W &
Virginia Gregg. In 1988 Gordon & Kandy Gregg Webb bought and renovated
it to be Kandy's law office. The original outdoor lamps of the gas station
can be seen inside each bay window.

My Commentary:
This two-story Tudor Revival building is located at 224 N Main in Harrison, Ar. The western facade fenestration has a recessed area with a wood and glass door and a three pane bay window with wooden mullions. The main part of the southern facade has a central metal and glass door with a glass transom above. Flanking either side is a large single pane bay window. The second-story has a front facing gabled roof with pseudo half timbering. There is a single pane window on the second floor.
The northern facade fenestration from left to right is a two pane bay window with wooden mullions; an arched stained glass window with two small arched panes and a circle pane; a wooden and glass door; and a three pane bay window with wooden mullions. There is a canvas canopy over the door and bay window.
The second story has two dormer windows with arched windows. The panes are three-over-two on the bottom and three, then two, then one pane to finish the arched window.
The c. 1929 Phillips Petroleum Gas Station Building at 224 N. Main Street is reminiscent of the Tudor Revival style in its steeply front facing gabled roof with pseudo half-timbering.
