Gulf Gas in Miami, Florida

by John Margolies

This excellent architectural photo by renowned chronicler of commercial America John Margolies shows a remarkable Spanish Revival-style Gulf Gas station located in Miami, Florida. Known for his work capturing roadside vernacular architecture in the United States, Margolies focuses on the unique aesthetic of commercial architecture in South Florida, where functionality is paired with Mediterranean Revival influence.

The picture includes a terracotta roof, stucco exterior, and flaring Art Deco/Spanish inspired canopy columns with vintage gas pumps, a Pepsi vending machine, and Florida sunshine amid a blue sky. The combination of lighting, color, and lack of people makes Margolies' signature photographic style transform ordinary commercial building of mid-20th century to a work of art.

This print would be great for collectors of architectural history of the 20th century, lovers of roadside Americana, and vintage Florida art.
