Embassy Gulf Sevice Center, 2200 P Street, Northwest, Washington, District of Columbia, DC

Significance: The Neoclassical design of this filling station respects its location in the neighborhood of embassies and churches at a critical intersection of the city's urban grid and the Rock Creek & Potomac Parkway entrance at P Street. The lot on which it stands is under the jurisdiction of the Shipstead-Luce Act, so the architecture and setting responded to the requirements of this review process; the formality of the building is otherwise uncharacteristic for a service station.
Survey number: HABS DC-664
