Robert Lee, TX - Gas Station
Gas station made of large stones -- a common building technique in Texas -- in Robert Lee, the county seat of Coke County, Texas. The founders named the city after Robert E. Lee, who is thought to have set up camp for a time near the current townsite on the Colorado River. Lee served in Texas from 1856 to 1861 as a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Second Cavalry, during which time he distinguished himself as a scout and engineer. Photo by Carol Highsmith, 2014.
