As you mentioned in a comment above it was a gas/service station for many years & legend has it was a speakeasy offering moonshine during Prohibition (hence its Outlaw moniker). It reportedly served as a grocery store for a while after that, too. <br /><br />It's heartbreaking that it's not being preserved, but if a building is going to be abandoned, one made out of petrified wood has a better chance than most of staying upright I suppose. And it makes a great subject for photos during bluebonnet season as seen here:<br /><br />https://tinyurl.com/y7q4yjuw<br /><br />Here are a couple of short articles about Glen Rose's iconic petrified wood structures from that era:<br /><br />https://www.texascooppower.com/texas-stories/life-arts/irreplaceable-works-of-art<br /><br />https://txtriffidranch.wordpress.com/tag/petrified-wood/<br /><br />Once you realize what you're looking at, you start seeing Glen Rose's petrified wood incorporated in 1920's & 30's era buildings everywhere along the back roads & town squares in that whole region.<br /><br /><br /><br />leilanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00491913174028325392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36111065.post-12176415130447106402018-03-16T10:56:13.440-04:002018-03-16T10:56:13.440-04:00Looks like a nice place, lots of big rigs there, i...Looks like a nice place, lots of big rigs there, interesting decks on them.
