The bold colors of this old gas station catches your eye. A conversation with the owner revealed that the station was built in 1934 and that he is not the original owner. Although he did not know what brand was originally sold here, he did produce a photo that shows a Mobilgas sign in 1945. Some time later it must have also been a Phillip 66 station. On shelves within the station are old Phillip 66 cans and hanging in front of the station is a redecorated Phillip 66 sign.
Today, the service station no longer sells gas and the pumps have been removed. The owner, Roger Berta, still uses both bays to repair vehicles.
