Colonial Beacon Gas Station
Colonial Beacon Gas Station, Historic filling station in Stoneham, Massachusetts.
The Colonial Beacon Gas Station featured an octagonal drive-through filling area topped with a round dome and a rectangular service section at 474 Main Street.
Built in 1922 by the Beacon Oil Company, the structure served as a model for their Colonial chain of filling stations across New England.
The station design incorporated architectural elements from the Massachusetts State House, including a golden dome and white exterior by Coolidge & Carlson firm.
The facility operated as a gas station until after World War II, then transformed into various retail spaces, including a flower shop and ice cream parlor.
The building contained one of ten specially designed golden domes with a light beacon at its apex, which illuminated and gave the station its name.
