Airplane Service Station
Airplane Service Station, Historic filling station in Powell, Tennessee.
The Airplane Service Station features an architectural design that replicates the shape of an airplane, complete with wings and a fuselage along Clinton Highway.
Brothers Elmer and Henry Nickle constructed this filling station in 1930 during the early era of American automobile travel and roadside architecture.
The station represents a period when American businesses used attention-grabbing architectural designs to attract motorists traveling on newly established highways.
Located at 6829 Clinton Highway, the structure now operates as a barbershop while maintaining its original exterior design and architectural elements.
The wooden interior paneling of the former gas station creates a larger space than the exterior suggests, accommodating various business ventures through decades.
