This drawing sets out both the floor plan and the front elevation of an automobile service station built for the Sinclair Oil Refining Company, so it shows how a roadside filling station was laid out on paper before anyone poured a foundation. Filling stations of this era were often built from company-standard designs, and drawings like this one show how a brand could be recognized from the street while the building was planned around fueling, lubrication, and minor repairs. The sheet is rendered in graphite and color pencil on tracing paper, a common medium for architectural presentation and revision. It belongs to the Arthur B. Heaton Archive in the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division.
