Allen's Conoco - Route 66 - Commerce, OK Allen's Conoco Fillin' Station in Commerce was built ca. 1930 by F.D. Mitchell as a place for travelers to stop along the newly paved Route 66. While it served Conoco fuel gas for the first few years, it became a Phillips 66 Gas Station in 1938. It is rumored that Bonnie & Clyde may have stopped for gas here. Since the green cottage style gas station is built against a red brick wall, it's also known as the "Hole in the Wall Conoco Station." It was closed for many years but was purchased and refurbished as a beloved photo op known for its vibrant green paint with red trim. As a personal note, this is my last Oklahoma or Route 66 photo I'll be uploading for a while. I guess that just means I have to get back out there.
