History

Designed by Walter Dorwin Teague (1883-1960). He was one of several versatile industrial design consultants in the United States, designing cameras for Eastman Kodak, glassware for Steuben and gas stations for Texaco, among other things. The station was rehabbed in 1998.

Anecdotes

Chris  I used to drive by this building when I lived in Cranston. A great example of an old-style Texaco gas station. I’m happy that it has survived, and is being put to good use.
