Tucked behind the world-famous Snow Cap Drive-In in Seligman, Arizona, this quiet toilet block tells a story few travelers notice — but everyone feels. The Delgadillo family, who founded the Snow Cap in 1953, became legends along Route 66 for their humor and hospitality, greeting guests with pranks and laughter that made their stop unforgettable.
Captured through the wet plate collodion process, this photograph transforms an overlooked corner of Americana into something timeless. Each plate is poured, exposed, and developed by hand — producing unique imperfections that echo the worn textures of Route 66 itself.
This image is part of my ongoing NomadType Route 66 series, celebrating the humor, grit, and nostalgia of America’s most storied highway — where every building, sign, and shadow tells a story worth preserving.
