If you are here because of a grain elevator in Eureka, IL, please go to
the explosion at that elevator.

Gas station at the Rock City Cafe on Route 66 at Allen Road. This was located between Eureka & Times Beach in St. Louis County, Missouri.
The cafe opened in December 1935 by Luther “Ambrose” Keeton & J. R. Wade and remained open until 1957 when Route 66 was straightened and bypassed the location. It was demolished soon after. The site remained vacant until recently when Byerly RV opened a repair shop on the site.

Elwyn Davis: The station was built solid. It would probably still be there if they.had not widened the road. Love those Wayne pumps and especially that display pump. |
