## Background (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0, shortened)

The Standard Oil Gasoline Station is a historic gas station in Odell, Illinois, that lies along historic U.S. Route 66. Before the days of the interstate highway system the station served patrons along the highway's cross country jaunt. It is fairly typical of gas stations along the historic corridor.


== History ==
The station was built in 1932 when a contractor, Patrick O'Donnell purchased the small 200-foot (61 m) by 60-foot (18 m) piece of land the station stands on. The land lies on the southwest side of the Livingston County town. O'Donnell's plan was to build a gas station that he could lease to his son.
