Texaco Station in Queens, New York

by John Margolies

Captured against the backdrop of an unblemished blue sky, this striking photo by renowned photographer John Margolies depicts the timeless Texaco gas station from Queens, New York. Renowned for his commitment to capturing roadside architecture throughout his lifetime, Margolies emphasizes the crisp geometrical design, pristine white enamel walls, and iconic red Texaco branding, which includes star details and an American flag proudly flying outside.

This photo includes period fuel pumps, vintage signage “Stenson & Klemm Inc.” and even New York State vehicle inspection signs, making it a truly remarkable relic of commercial Americana. Digitally printed in ultra-high-definition to retain the authentic colors found in the original 35mm slide, this artwork would be a great addition to any modern or industrial setting.
