Malleks Marathon - Ann Arbor, Michigan - Vintage Gas Stations on Waymarking.com

In an October 2000 Article in the Ann Arbor Observer (visit link) entitled Gasoline Alley, author Grace Shackman tells of the rise an fall of the gas stations in Ann Arbor.

She tells us about this station here-

"Even before the expressways, gas stations and car dealers had begun moving farther out of town, especially along Stadium and Washtenaw. As styles changed again, the surviving downtown stations made another attempt to blend with neighborhoods, using residential details like the mansard roof on J.B.’s Auto Service at Liberty and Second, or the Colonial cupola on Mallek’s at the Jackson-Dexter fork."

The 1945 Polks city directory shows us Mallek and Hoppe here (visit link) :
