This location is not on the US National Register of Historical Places. There isn't even an application for it. The is a record from that someone submitted to the state of California but it was never followed up.

KeepThis says it is an "officially designated United States national historic place" and it is in
this listing by the National Park Service.

I think that establishes notability, so keep, but it needs to be expanded.

Keep, it is notable, and nomination was mistaken, as courteously admitted by the nominator. And

Thank you, I did make a good faith effort to find anything that would have supported it being a historic place. I compared it to other applicants and it was significantly different so I assumed it was submitted but never formally approved. Moments after I submitted the deletion request I found the application in the library of congress. If I stumble on any formal rejection I'll reopen. Again thank you everyone for you time, effort, and kindness in the face of my mistake.

Rename if kept to
Shell Gas Station, La Grange or something like that. Shell has 1000s of gas stations worldwide. I do not know if this one is notable: not every historic building is. In UK it is only a minority of listed buildings that qualify. If not kept, Merge to
La Grange, California.

Keep per
WP:GEOFEAT. But obviously rename, as the current title implies it's the only Shell gas station. --

Keep, it has historical significance. I do too agree that it should be renamed to something less generic.
