Julian's RAMCO Gas Station

onion
The RAMCO gas station in Julian was remodeled with no regard to the town's historic character or to the signage requirements of the Julian Architectural Review Board. The station's plastic orange signs and cluttered lot contrasts with Julian's Gold Rush atmosphere. The station's architectural offenses are made to look all the worse because it sits next to the "Julian Coffee House," a quaint and period correct building that enhances the historic quality of Main Street. (See photos of RAMCO and Coffee House.)

Hideous. Simply hideous.

That is very sad

I can't believe I would ever see a better reason to implement a community design guideline document. To have a city with such a historic look and feel to be graced with such a blight is very sad.

I did not know they had such good roofing material back then!
