The Threatt Filling Station, at the southwestern corner of the former U.S. Route 66 and Pottawatomi Rd. about 3 miles (4.8 km) east of Luther, Oklahoma (which is about 20 miles (32 km) east of Oklahoma), is a filling station built around 1915. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[1]

It is "an example of a 'house' type of station, designed in the Bungalow/Craftsman style of architecture."[2]

Its original c.1915 gas pumps had glass globes on top so that the amount of gasoline to be dispensed could be determined, but those were replaced by two c.1940 pumps.[2]
