Description
These are the vintage gas pumps at the Bent Door Cafe which was built by Robert Harris around 1947. As was typical of Route 66 business owners, (this is the midway point of the mother road), Harris wanted to grab the attention of Route 66 travelers. He purchased an airport control tower from a nearby US Army Air Force base that was selling surplus military items. He integrated the control tower, with its slanted windows, into the corner of the restaurant.
