Notes
  • Significance: This 1929 service station complex in Palo Alto is representative of the Spanish Colonial Revival commercial style, which has been popular in California and is rapidly disappearing. The Violet Ray service station consists of the gas station and two automotive service buildings with its white stucco buildings and red-tiled roofs of low pitch. Automotive repairs are still done in the service buildings. The gas station has been recycled as a commercial space.
