Jack Colker’s 76 Station located on the southwest corner of ‘Little’ Santa Monica Blvd. and N. Crescent Drive in Beverly Hills. The Union 76 gas station was designed by architect Gin Wong of Pereira and Associates and completed in 1965. The design came earlier, though, and was meant for a very different location: in 1960, Wong designed the building to be part of Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Its futuristic style was intended to complement the airport’s famous Theme Building. But since it didn’t work out with the overall LAX plan, this amazing building ended up as a gas station in Beverly Hills. Photo dated 2012. Source: Curbside Classic
