Cecil Hopkins’s Sinclair Service Station

-A A +A
1935; 2005 restored. S. Main St. at S. 3rd St.

This restored stucco-finished California Mission–style station was a company standard, used throughout the Sinclair market. Half the building is an office and sales area, the other half service bays. A drive-through canopy projects at one side, making an L-shaped plan, for ease of circulation on the corner site. Corners rise into stepped piers, with low-sloped gables on the drive-through and a false roof over the service bay doors, all capped in green glazed barrel tiles.
