Art's Auto

Art's Auto is a historic former service station at 5–7 Lonsdale Avenue in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. It is a single-story brick structure, with a flat roof, and a series of towers capped by pointed roofs. It was built as an automotive service station in 1927–28 for Arthur Normand, at a time when gasoline producers competed in part by the shape and style of their service stations. This station is one of two stations known to survive from this period in the state. Its front facade has a dramatic presentation, with square towers topped by pyramidal roofs at the corners, and a projecting round bay in the center, topped by a conical roof, with windows arrayed around the bay and on its flanks. Currently, the building is used as an office for Anchor Financial. Art's Auto was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.

Constructed in 1927–28, Art's Auto stands on a triangular lot intersected by Main Street and Lonsdale Avenue (Rhode Island Route 122). Also intersecting are Thurston Street and Randall Street, forming a busy intersection in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. Built for Arthur Normand, the service station is a single-story brick structure measuring by . The interior and exterior of the building is divided into two distinct sections, with the original office and sales display area measuring deep and the rear area being deep.〔
The front division's corners are marked by four square turret-like piers with pyramidal roofs, each capped with a single over-scaled ball finial. Projecting from the center of southwest facade is a circular tower with a ten-sided conical roof with an large ball finial. The front of the building has two doorways, one on each side, and the large display windows that comprise the majority of the facade, which is topped by a false mansard roof. The rear division is devoid of architectural ornamentation, consisting of a flat metal roof to house the garage of the service station. At the time of the nomination, an overhead garage door allows access for vehicles into the concrete floor service area.〔 In 1978, the building likely used asbestos shingles for the front roofing, but it may have been removed by later renovations.〔〔
