Associated

This Associated "Flying A" service station is quite indicative of the mid '30s architecture. Octagonal floor plan and sweeping, circular awning. Right in step with the drive-in diners popping up everywhere.

 

The lighting captured in this rare night shot is positively memorizing. Imagine the soft glow the incandescent awning lights cast, in contrast to the bright neon signage. The warm glow from the gas pump globes and all. What a special time for architecture and lighting.
