The Hat 'n' Boots
Built in 1955 at the corner of East Marginal Way South and South Corson Street in Georgetown, the 44-foot-wide hat was a gas station and the 22-foot-tall boots were the restrooms. The service station closed in 1988, weeds coming through the concrete, paint chipping. After years of failed attempts to restore the quirky buildings, the Georgetown Community Council won a grant for $275,000. The Hat 'n' Boots were moved four blocks to Oxbow Park for restoration, scheduled to begin soon. Read story.
