Source: AOL
The Petrified Wood Gas Station in Decatur was built in 1927 and plastered with petrified wood in 1935 to stand out. It was a fashionable choice at the time due to the availability of fossilized wood. The station also had a gift shop and cabins where Bonnie and Clyde supposedly hid. It has been lovingly restored and now houses the Whistle Stop Café.
