Wake-Up Gas Station in Indianapolis, Indiana

by John Margolies

Bring back the energetic feel of traveling in mid-century America with this beautiful image, depicting vividly patterned tiles, rich red outlines, and repeated images of a rooster that decorate a tall glass block window of a Wake-Up Gas Station in Indianapolis, Indiana captured by renowned architectural photographer John Margolies. Specializing in the documentation of America’s vanishing commercial roadside architecture, Margolies draws attention to the unique signage and retro character of those local gasoline stations that were an important element of the midwestern scenery.

Presented in high definition, this work will add a feeling of nostalgia, industrial legacy, and classic Americana to any space.
