Built in 1954 in Haysville, Kansas, the Vickers Petroleum Service Station is a pioneering example of modernist design by architect John M. Hickman. The structure is notable for being the first service station to feature a hyperbolic paraboloid roof form—colloquially known as a "batwing"—constructed from concrete. Following an interior remodel in 2007, the building was repurposed as office space for Haysville's Chamber of Commerce, though it retains its Vickers Petroleum branding. The station was recognized for its architectural significance with placement on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019 and listing on the Register of Historic Kansas Places.
