Location #6
Paso Robles Radiator and Paso Expresso at 1405 Spring St.. This was Steaffens & Mastagni Texaco in 1955, and the building dates back to before 1939. It's the only surviving gas station type structure in Paso Robles. There also used to be a Richfield station directly across Spring St.. This is on the northwest corner of 14th & Spring.

I'm not sure what this was,
but I don't think that it was a hat rack. |

They pump java now, not gas. |
