New Ulm Oil Company Service Station
The New Ulm Oil Company Service Station is a historic gas station in New Ulm, Minnesota. The private, commercial structure was placed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on December 31, 1979. Its strong, fanciful visual images exemplify independent gas station designs of the 1920s.〔"In Minnesota", ''SCA Newsletter'' (SCAN), (Society for Commercial Archeology ), April 1985.〕
==Structure==
The Service Station is built on a diagonal axis facing the intersection of North Broadway Street and North 5th Street in New Ulm. The main facade is flanked by two imposing, copper-roofed towers, octagonal at the first level and circular at the second. A one story office/retail area is located between the two towers, and from it projects a single-lane drive-through canopy with the gas pump area at the front. The upper sides of the canopy are capped by a parapet with a curvilinear profile. The fenestration consists of arched window and door openings under the canopy and on the two towers; all are capped by precast concrete units which join to form a decorative belt course. The entire structure is built of the rainbow Artstone block manufactured by the company that designed the building.〔Dennis Gimmestad, Minnesota Historic Properties Inventory Form, January 1979; copy accessed from New Ulm Oil Company Service Station file, State Historic Preservation Office in the Minnesota History Center.〕
The building was originally designed with windmill blades at the top of each tower, but they were never installed. Over the life of the building some reversible modifications were made: the red tile roof of the canopy was replaced with asphalt shingle and a wooden screen was added to the front of the canopy.〔 In the years after being listed on the NRHP, the wooden screen and gas pumps were removed.
