Petrified Wood Gas Station<br />
Lamar, Colorado<br />
<br />
Here's a structure claiming to be the oldest on the planet. And it technically does leave Wyoming's Dinosaur Bone Cabin in the fossil dust. It's built of "wood turned to stone."<br />
<br />
Lamar's Petrified Wood building started out as a gas station, built by lumber dealer W.G. Brown in 1932. The building walls and floors are constructed of large pieces of petrified wood over 175 million years old.<br />
<br />
In 1962, the service station became Lamar Tire Service. As of April 2010 it is on the grounds of a used car lot and appears to either be vacant or used for storage.<br />
