This unusual example of roadside architecture was envisioned as a corner anchor for a project called Buford Seals' Frontier Village, a western-themed shopping center that never was built. A supermarket occupied part of the Frontier Village property for a short time. The Hat 'n' Boots Texaco Gas Station operated profitably until the opening of Interstate 5 drew travelers away from Highway 99 after 1962. With dwindling revenues, the Hat 'n' Boots closed in 1988. It sat vacant from 1988-2003, when the Georgetown Community Council purchased the station for $1 and moved it to Oxbow Park.

The hat served as the station office, the boots as the men's and women's restrooms. The station's had great visibility located at the corner of Corson Avenue South and East Marginal Way and close to motorists on Highway 99.

The Hat 'n' Boots was moved to Oxbow Park, 6400 South Corson Street, 12/13/2003.
