The streetside garage was then taken down and rebuilt (probably in 1916) at the back of the lot and given a new facade of a Spanish Colonial style to match the new gas station built in front.

[6] The property and station were donated to Route 66 IECA with the stipulation that they maintain an easement for access to Lamar's billboard at the edge of the lot.

[7] The station is visited each week by tourists from around the world and across the country as they travel America's Mother Road as well as locals who just want to come in and reminisce.

The restoration was provided by private donations, grants, and volunteer labor and has since won numerous awards and honors.

Future plans include raising enough funds to rebuild the garage at the back of the lot which will greatly expand the museum space.
