Designed by Albert Frey and Robson Chambers, this gas station was conceived by developer Culver Nichols as an entry statement to Palm Springs. Its roof is a hyperbolic paraboloid of steel I-beams and corrugated metal roofing supported by steel tubular pillars. Albert Frey was consulted in its 1998-1999 adaptive reuse as a sculpture gallery. The property has been listed in the National Register of Historic Places by the United States Department of the Interior.
