These are beatiful pics. I really like the sky contrast but when I think of the service station, I think about leaking underground tanks. It is why most stations close. Just to expensive to dig the tanks up and do it right. The thought that it is so near to that body of water is another concern. But I understand your comments and the pictures are lovely.

I am sure that is one of the reasons this old station is here is because of the tankupdate a few years back It was moved here.
Thanks Nan

wonder if my wife would let me get one instead of a garden shed to put the mower in?

did you trespass? COOL.

I like those old service stations... tiny and functional... love it when other businesses find uses for them.

Wow, must have been an effort to move and restore that. But worthwhile.

looks like the one my aunt and uncle owned and preserved and kept in the family for so many years....then the grocery store wanted to move to that area and apparently offered them enough money to buy it out. I still miss it. They didn't have gas anymore, but sold candy and other goodies inside.

That's cute. I once knew some folks who had an old candy store on their property that they used for storage.

Another nostalgic detail is the wide whitewall tire to the left. Fun subject and great photos.

Everyone has their own ideas of collecting I guess. We ate in an old service station that was converted to a restaurant one time. Good food there with a lot of vintage stuff to see hanging on the walls. I would say it is a garage but that part of it is probably too small for today's vehicles. Unless you are a small car person which I am not.
