Old Gas Station / Speakeasy, Glen Rose, Texas

On our way back to Glen Rose, Texas we happened along this structure and had to stop and look closer and take pictures.  

Upon Googling it, I discovered the following:

This structure is the shell of a long-abandoned filling station & prohibition-era speakeasy located along the old highway 67, at a place historically referred to as Sycamore Grove, on the north side of Glen Rose, Texas. Reportedly built in 1925, the most obvious and unique aspect of it's construction, other than the overall design itself, is the integral use of rock, petrified wood, and multi-colored brick as construction materials. 

Somervell County evidently had quite a cache of petrified wood in it's day, and there are several buildings in the area constructed in a similar fashion. The millions-of-years-old building materials have stood the test of time thus far...unlike whatever materials they chose for it's roof!  Now simply referred to as the "Outlaw Station", the petrified shell stands by the highway as a reminder of the days of the great depression, 'white lightning' moonshine, and roadhouse dancehalls.
