Possibly the single most influential commercial building design ever devised, the Texaco gas station, the porcelain-sided oblong-box-with-bays, designed by Walter Teague


I wonder if Walter Teague is related to Al Teague?

Teague's early role in consumer culture is most popularly associated with designs such as the first Polaroid camera, the UPS truck, Texaco service stations, and the Pringles Chips canister; while Xbox and the Boeing 787 Dreamliner headline Teague's post-2000 design work.

  1. Had a gas station exactly like this in mt town on our Main Street years ago. It was a beautiful station, and oh, that sweet petrol smell. I cherish those memories.
