Central Service Station

534 Whitman Street
Rosalia, WA

Located along the main drag in Rosalia, this Texaco service station was built in 1923. It’s listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the brick building stands as an intact example of the “house and canopy” design that was prevalent in that period. Today this Texaco station boasts a vintage gas pump, and evokes a feeling of yesteryear. The restoration is well done, and it’s kept up nicely. There’s street parking available, and when the station is open, there’s also a accessible parking spot cordoned off with an orange cone. There’s a vintage truck on the side of the station, and it’s a great photo op. The station is sporadically open as a visitor information center, but even if it’s closed you can still peer in the windows for a gander at the interior, which is also restored. There’s good access all around the station, and it’s just a few miles off Highway 95 in Southeastern Washington, so it’s a nice stop on a Palouse road trip.
