IN 1932, Paul T. Carr built the old Phillips 66 station which also served as a site for Carr & Branson Used Cars. By the late 1940’s, the station was used as a Standard Oil station as well as a Pontiac dealership called Paul T. Carr Motor Company. Carr died in 1964.

In 1968, Bill and Lynn Wallis purhased the property. The station was soon rebranded a Mobil station and also acted as the office of Wallis Oil Company. Since then, Wallis Oil Company has grown to have over 700 employees in Missouri and is one of Exxon Mobil’s largest fuel and lubricant distributors in the United States. The home office is still in Cuba, MO but is now in the modern brick building right across the street.

When Bill Wallis passed away in 2001, Lynn Wallis began a project to the building to honor both Bill and the station’s history. Working with Viva Cuba, a Route 66 Preservation grant, Phillips 66 and others, the Wallis family restored the station to how it would have looked in the 1930s. Missouri artist Ray Harvey painted the vintage scenes on the garage bays that you see today. Travelers can now stop and see a part of Americana along Route 66.

We feel very fortunate to be a part of the history of the Paul T. Carr building, and would like to thank the Wallis Family for their generosity.

Joanie Weir, along with her kids, Sam and Haley DeClue, opened the space in 2016 as a wonderfully-received restaurant called The FourWay. They lovingly ran it for five years before her brothers, Patrick and Danny Weir came on board to help out, rebranding it Weir on 66.

We would like to thank our families and our wonderful community for their endless support and kindness. Without you, this would not be possible. A very special thank you to our late parents, Patricia Joan Weir and Edward Weir for their love, guidance and generosity.
