The Oatman Filling Station is located in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.
[1] The filling station was built by Frank Oatman in 1931.
Many gas stations built between 1920 and 1935 were designed to look like houses, because oil companies were starting to build gas stations in neighborhoods and residents were objecting to utilitarian structures that looked like lumber or coal yard buildings.
The Oatman Filling Station building incorporated Tudor Revival cottage styling and included office and restroom space.
