DECATUR Petrified (continued) ty in order to attract customers. He athered petrified wood from Alvord nd Bridgeport and applied it to the xterior of the station and the cabins. e also expanded the Lunchroom and aced it with petrified wood. “In the old days, every station had it’s wn personality,” Jim said. “Presumbly, that’s why they put the petrified ood around it. The most unique lace got the most business.” Bonnie and Clyde were rumored to ave stayed in the Texas Tourist Court ust a few months before they were illed in May 1934. In the 1950s, the building was rapped in bright neon lights, further nticing people to visit the cabins and afe, along with filling their tank with as. “It must have been quite a sight coming in from Fort Worth,” Nancy said. The station survived the rationing of gasoline during World War II in part because Nolan recapped tires at the station. Rubber was a valuable resource during the war, and the Petrified Wood Station was one of the only locations in Decatur to have tires recapped. With Nolan’s retirement came the closing of the store, which Jim and Nancy remodeled as a personal office. The cabins are used for commercial space. The cafe closed for a couple of years but is now open as Whistle Stop Cafe. “There’s not a day that goes by that people don’t stop and take pictures,” Jim said. “This may be the most photographed place in Wise County.” Mary Austin 940-841-1805 Melaina Middleton 940-602-7617 Make sure that you Work with the best!
