Frank’s Echo Service in Echo, Utah

From Utah State Historic Preservation Office:
Frank’s Echo Service Station, built in 1956, is a variation of the oblong box type in the Modern Style with two service bays, and a separate island for the gas pumps. Fred Richins, owner and operator, advertised Sinclair Products and GoodYear Tires when it first opened. The town of Echo used to be an important junction point for being a key location along the Hastings Cutoff Trail, an alternative emigration route for westward travel through to California including: Latter-day Saint pioneers, the Pony Express, Transcontinental Railroad and the Lincoln Highway. The town has seen little growth since the construction of Interstate 80 in 1986 and with the railroad abandonment of its branch lines in 1988. Credit: Intermountain Histories
