Description
This old gas station is part of the Flamingo Visitor's center at Flamingo point in the Everglades National Park. Captured on film with a vintage camera from 1937
This visitor's center was part of "Mission 66". Mission 66 was a ten-year plan for new building architecture, landscape architecture, and engineering projects across the National Park System that was meant to prepare the parks for a post-World War II explosion of vacationers hitting the highways, and culminate in the agency’s 50th anniversary in 1966. The ambitious program embraced the mid-century modern aesthetic of the period and produced some of the parks’ most distinctive structures, including the Clingman’s Dome observation tower at Great Smoky Mountains, the Painted Desert Community Complex at Petrified Forest, and the now-demolished Cyclorama building at Gettysburg.
