UFO-shaped gas station in Missouri |
"Less than a month later, the developer who had planned to replace it with a new commercial space announced plans to preserve the flyer saucer-shaped structure,"it adds.
The former Del Taco, otherwise known as "the flying saucer building," opened as a Phillips 66 gas station back in the 1960s and is considered a prime example of mid-century modern architecture.
The building, located on the southeast corner of Grand and Forest Park avenues, is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
