Built in 1931 in Pierce County, the Sunrise Service Station exemplifies the National Park Service rustic architectural style that emerged during the early twentieth century. This filling station, designed according to principles favoring natural materials and integration with the landscape, represents a distinctive approach to roadside commercial architecture of the Depression era. Now recognized as a contributing property to the National Register of Historic Places, the station survives as a testament to both the early automobile age and the aesthetic philosophy that sought to harmonize utilitarian structures with their natural surroundings.
