Tower Station
Built in 1936 on historic Route 66 in Shamrock, Texas, the Tower Station/U-Drop Inn is a former gas station in Art Deco style. When Route 66 was decommissioned in favor of Interstate highway 40, the station fell into disrepair and was closed in 1990. It was later bought by the First National Bank of Shamrock and given to the city. It has since been restored to its 1936 appearance. In a modern touch, a bank of Tesla rapid charging stations has been added behind the station. This building's likeness was featured in the 2006 animated film "Cars."
