This building is small and in a very inconspicuous spot but the tiles have always caught my eye. The advances and sentiments of the 1920s can be seen in this building. Egyptian styling caused by the uncovering of King Tuts tomb and cubism of Picasso can be seen in the tiling of the building. The lines are very clean and the colors are both vibrant and muted, this is similar to the cubism of Pablo Picasso. The building is divided into three parts, this paired with a focus on horizontal embellishments are reminiscent of Egyptian style. The rise of the automobile in the 1920s was what spurred the construction of such gas stations across the country. This building does not just house a gas station it communicates the mindset of a generation
