ROUTE 66 IMAGE COLLECTION

On a stretch of Route 66 in Shamrock, Texas the once famous Tower Conoco Station and U-Drop Inn & Cafe now houses the local chamber of commerce. Built in 1936, the building represents the art-deco style that was popular in the 1920s and 1930s. The Neon lines are lit day and night.

During its heyday, the local newspaper reported that the cafe at the U-Drop Inn was “the swankiest of swank eating places” and “the most up-to-date edifice of its kind on U.S. Highway 66 between Oklahoma City and Amarillo”. “Delicious Food Courteously Served” quickly became its motto. The building with its twin towers was a landmark to the many highway travelers on Route 66.
