This former Texaco station, located at the intersection of old Route 66 and Illinois Route 17 in Dwight, was the last operating gas station on Route 66. It opened in 1933 and passed through several owners before Basil Ambler purchased the station in 1938. Ambler ran it until 1966, and it passed through a couple of owners until longtime employee Phil Becker purchased it in 1970. Soon after, Texaco stopped supplying the station and Becker contracted with Marathon, and the station would be known as Becker's Marathon for the next 26 years. The station was added to the National Register of Historic Places, and has been beautifully restored to it's fifties style Texaco livery. Ambler's is an excellent example of "domestic style" house-and-canopy gas station design, common in the early thirties up till the early postwar years.
