Here is a cool, old photo of an abandoned service station on Route 66 that was located just east of Kellyville, Oklahoma. The gas pumps look to be from the mid-'20s. We got a firm date of 1954 for this photo. The sign to the right looks like a Coca-Cola advertising sign. Kellyville is about 8 miles west of Sapulpa, OK on old Route 66. In Jack D. Rittenhouse's 1946 "A Guide Book to Highway 66" book, he says "KELLYVILLE... cafes; gas; small garage; no tourist accommodations... A small community with about ten business establishments." I am hearing that it was a bit west of Kellyville and was a Phillips 66 station.
The photo is courtesy of the Oklahoma Department of Transportation
