It has not been remodelled.. it was painstakingly restored. There are no gas pumps and it lacks oil cans in the window, but it’s virtually the same as in the photo otherwise. Albert Frey himself was the consultant when it was restored and died shortly after.
you should know that the fountain was removed when it was converted to the sculpture gallery, and it was enclosed by a tall, circular wall for security purposes. that has since been lowered for use as the visitor’s center.

Still standing, after it was a gas station it was an art gallery now it’s the Palm Springs Visitor Center (appropriately remodeled of course)
