This is definitely on its last leg. It's a beautiful building though. The coolest part was the (crazy cheap) fuel prices on the old gas pumps!

I don't know how much longer the old building will remain. It's pretty worn down over 80 years after Frank Hamer made his telephone call. What is labeled as the actual pay phone is on display inside the Bonnie and Clyde Ambush Museum one block away.
