This Shell gas station was built in the shape of a giant shell in 1930. It is located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina and is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Built in the day when people were just starting to get out in their cars and do road trips. The "heyday" of crazy buildings and roads like the Lincoln Highway and Route 66. Very few examples of this "literal architecture" have survived.
