Sprague's Super Service
Sprague's Super Service is a historic independent gas station on Route 66 in Normal, Illinois.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Sprague's Super Service: Normal, Illinois )〕
A Tudor revival building constructed in 1931 by William Sprague to house a service station, restaurant and garage, it is the largest of three remaining two-story fuel station buildings on US 66, originally housing a café and service station on the main floor plus two second-floor apartments for the owner and the station attendant.
==History==
As Pine Street (the main U.S. 66 route before construction of the Veterans Parkway as a bypass after 1940) is part of a largely-residential neighbourhood, the station was designed to fit with its surroundings by having the building follows the architectural conventions of a private residence.
While additions were made to the station in 1948 and 1967 (one of which sited a second auto service bay as an adjoining garage beside the main building) the original building's design has been left largely intact. Originally a Cities Service vendor, the station has sold various brands of fuel (including Gulf Oil during the 1960s).〔 The last fuel was dispensed in 1971 and the pumps removed by 1979.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sprague's Super Service Station to Receive Honors Plaque )〕 The building then served as a storefront for various businesses including Joe’s Welding and Boiler Company, Corn Belt Manufacturing, Yellow Cab and Avis Rent-a-Car. The last occupants were Hodge’s Catering and Bridal World before the building was ultimately left vacant.
