The Baxter Springs Independent Oil and Gas Service Station is a brick filling station at 940 Military Avenue in Baxter Springs, Kansas, along the former route of U.S. Route 66. Built in 1930 by the Independent Oil and Gas Company, it was designed in the Tudor Revival style to resemble a small cottage, a manner popular among oil companies that wanted their stations to blend with nearby housing. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it now serves as the Kansas Route 66 Visitors Center.
